Feather in a Storm

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
