The Storm Lyrics - Moonfleet & Other Stories - Chris De Burgh

Now the time had come for Elzevir and John 

To be sent from Holland's shore 

And to end their days in pain and misery 

To be slaves so far from home 

Oh, how sweet the salt sea air? 

Oh, how bright the sun? 

Oh, but little did they know of the storm 

That was to come and the ship that would go down 

Hey boys and listen, well, and a story I will tell 

Send for the prisoners down below, down below 

Hey boys and wish 'em, well, and the fate that them befell

And pray that you will never see the day 

You'll fight for your life on Moonfleet Bay 

Well, the storm hit hard and the waves were high 

It was every man for himself 

By a twist of fate t'was on Moonfleet Bay 

Where the ship would meet its end 

Oh, with a roar of wind and sail 

Oh, the ship was gone 

Oh, in the night they saw a light 

'Twas the candle grace had shone 

And her boy was coming home 

Hey boys, the ship is down 

Every man must swim or drown 

Head for the breakers on the shore, on the shore 

Hey boys for Elzevir, he put John in Fortune's care 

For no man ever was there till that day 

Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay

"What shall we do with the boy who's drowning? 

What shall we do with the boy who's drowning? 

What shall we do with the boy who's drowning 

Early in the morning?" 

Throw him a rope and God go with him 

Throw him a rope and God go with him 

Throw him a rope and God go with him early in the morning 

And Elzevir he gave his life away 

For John was the only man that day 

Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay
