Lover's Wreck Lyrics - What's The Rumpus? - Gaelic Storm

A hundred days at sea, A wretch away from misery 

Rummies and rats and tarry jacks my only family (break) 

The island of salvation is still a scream a way 

As the lungs of the night blow out the light my heart kneels down to pray 

(straight into chorus) 

Lord why did you take her She meant so much to me 

Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea 

I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black 

But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again if you bring her back 

Gypsy was a siren, Dripping with desire 

Her moonless hair and skin so fair as warm as frozen fire 

She had the loyalty of a cat, behind those pale green eyes 

And through her cherry lips the devil slipped, a thousand lies 

A clan of rogues and vagabonds occupied her head 

That thieving band took her pale white hand and stole her from my bed 

And like a ghost ship in the night she drifted out once more 

To land upon the sand of another lover? s shore

Lord why did you take her she meant so much to me 

Now I? m a wretched soul on a privateer drowning out at sea 

I? m killing and I? m drinking my blue heart to black 

But I swear, oh Lord, I? ll never sin again If you bring her back 

In my sleeping mind she sings a sad and lonely lullabye 

When I wake there? s just the ache it will haunt me till I die 

When those winds of vanity no longer blow her west 

I pray they? ll guide her home (across the foam) and put my heart to rest 

Press gang filled this Man-o-War To make the black mouthed cannon roar 

Now all my trade is ball and blade, and blood forever more 

And the sting of salt and spray, the ocean? s howl and squall 

A stumbling wreck, I roam the deck, at the devil? s beck and call. at the devil? s beck and call
