The Offing
Lyricist:Chet Nichols Composer:Chet Nichols
Today it was cold There was ice all around But, the ship, it was happy We were homeward bound
Sea dream, daydreams loom around It's been so long since they've been found Pictures painted by a virgin's hand That someday soon will please her man Today it was calm There was fog all around But, the ship it was happy We were homeward bound And I'm on the masthead looking for land Just a-waiting to be touched by that virgin's hand Oh, land… Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Oh, land….
A roof of straw and seaweed walls Sun's itself on the beach's halls Quiz the mermaids in the cove Well, they say that she's waiting And growing quit old Today, it was warm There was sun all around And the ship it was happy We were homeward bound And I'm on the masthead just looking for land Just a-waiting to be touched by that virgin's hand Oh, land…. Oh, land…. Land…ho!
