The Storm 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
