Moonlight glistens on the sands,
where lapping waves play lullabies,
white laced reefs, of coral bands,
where silver shines from the nightime skies,
A galleons lights seen through the dark,
sailing gracefully with the tide,
a framework of red embered sparks,
winds through her rigging gently sighed
Then swallowed by the evenings mist,
at mercy of the cold cruel sea,
A memory of the girl i'd kissed,
upon that ship who's leaving me......
