Feather In The Storm - Seth Lakeman

High waves she cut them up in two

The storm’s eye we could see

With her tattered sails shaking in the gale

A terror for a sight was she

Cutting through the clouds the moon swept the deck

Her wooden bones all alight

With a quick glimpse, ghostly was the wreck

I couldn’t see a soul in sight

She’s like a feather in a storm

Blowing on the wind

She’s like a feather in a storm

When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes

Two beacons bright

Timber cracked as she broke upon her back

Her wooden bones all exposed

Stuck there fast with a weather-beaten mast

A pale strong figure he arose

Then standing at the helm, the devil I could tell

His silver cloak all alight

With two burning eyes dancing in the sky

A terror on a winter’s night

She’s like a feather in a storm

Blowing on the wind

She’s like a feather in a storm

When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes

Two beacons burning brightly on the tide

A fair warning to return another night

Go quickly when he’s chasing you with flames burning bright

She’s like a feather in a storm

Blowing on the wind

She’s like a feather in a storm

When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes

She’s like a feather in a storm

Blowing on the wind

She’s like a feather in a storm

When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes

Two beacons bright

Cold scarlet eyes

Two beacons bright
