Chris De Burgh - The Storm
INTRO: Em D Em (6x)
Now the time had come for Elzevir and John
To be sent from DHolland's Emshore
And to end their days in pain and misery
To be slaves so Dfar from Emhome
Oh Coh - how Dsweet the Emsalt sea air
Oh Coh - how Dbright the Emsun
Oh Coh - but Dlittle Emdid they know
Of the Cstorm that Dwas to Emcome
And the Cship that Dwould go Emdown
CHey, boys and Glisten well Dand a story EmI will tell
CSend for the Gprisoners down beDlow (down below!)
CHey boys and Gwish 'em well Dand the fate that Emthem befell
And Cpray that you will Dnever see the Cday
You'll fight for your Dlife on Moonfleet EmBay!
Well the storm hit hard and the waves were high
It was every Dman for himEmself
By a twist of Fate, t'was on Moonfleet Bay
Where the ship would meet its end
Oh Coh - with a Droar of Emwind and sail
Oh Coh - the Dship was Emgone
Oh Coh - in the Dnight, they Emsaw a light
T'was the Ccandle DGrace had Emshone
And her Cboy was Dcoming Emhome
CHey, boys the Gship is down, Devery man must Emswim or drown
CHead for the Gbreakers on the Dshore (on the shore!)
CHey, Gboys for Elzevir, Dhe put John in EmFortune's care
For Cno man ever Dwas there 'til thatC day
Saved from the Dsea on Moonfleet AmBay!
"What shall we do with the boy who's drowning?
GWhat shall we do with the boy who's drowning?
AmWhat shall we do with the boy who's drowning, Gearly in the Ammorning?"
"Throw him a rope and god go with him
GThrow him a rope and god go with him
AmThrow him a rope and god go with him, Gearly in the Ammorning?"
INSTRUMENTAL: F C G Am F C G F C G Am
And FElzevir, he Ggave his life aFway
But John was the Gonly man that Fday
GSaved from the sea on AmMoonfleet Bay!
