Ocean Rose

There was a lonely ship on the high seas
Looking for a safe place to anchor
From the driving wind and pouring rain
Ocean Rose the tradewinds blew you in – from far away
There was a pirate ship on the breakwater
Skull n Bone flag looking for a spoil
He sailed right up to her and seabreeze said:
“we may be lost honey, but atleast we’ve got eachother”

Ocean Rose let your sails down
Just like you let your hair down
There was never a vessel afloat like you
Never a woman, just like you

Enemy ships appeared on the horizon
He went out and met them in battle – for her
Striking his colours, with cannonballs, smoke and flame
He came back beaten and blown
But he blew some out of the water, yeahhh

Ocean Rose let your sails down
Just like you let your hair down
There was never a vessel quite built like you
Never a woman, just like you (whoaohhh)

Dark clouds came down low, lovin’ the sea with lightning
Turned her inside out, whippin’ up waves like cat-o-nine tails
She scuttled everyone, around and round, run-aground
Ocean Rose are we ever gonna see your pretty face again?
(2,3,4,5,6)

He was broken, half crippled and drowned
What was once a mighty ship, now a floating wreckage
She towed him to a port and stayed with him all that night, and said:
“No-one’s ever fought for me,
I can’t leave you now,
‘cause we have found eachother
‘cause we have got eachother”

Ocean Rose let your sails down
Just like you let your hair down
There was never a vessel afloat like you
Never a woman, just like you (whoaohhh)

Ocean Rose let your sails down
Just like you let your hair down
There was never a vessel quite built like you
Never a woman, just like you (whoaohhh)
