lyrics

She runs with a pack of wolves from a golden time
When hearts were hard and souls were blind
She knows when the sun goes down and the tide is high
She will lose her head when the raven flies
She sings to the moon at night in a long black dress
Songs of pain songs of jest
She waits for the man in grey the ocean’s slave
To lift her heart and find his way home

He lives for the salt and wood and the sea’s discord
With a tainted heart and a broken soul
He knows when the sun comes up and the wind is right
He will forge ahead until the raven flies
He sings to the moon at night with a great despair
To his lonely bride with long brown hair
He longs for a love he knows from a golden time
When his heart beat hard and his eyes shone bright
