lyrics

As sail set to the wind
And bow cut through the water
Peter sang a glorious tune
The sun shone on his back
As he gazed out on the horizon
At the stars, the sea, the moon

Chorus:
Take my heart or take my life
My body lie cold and dry
If love I find when I’m out here at sea
Then out here I will surely die

He met a beast so fierce
With fangs of light and thunder
With talons of wind and rain
She tore right through the hull
And laid waste to the mainsail
The beast could not be slain

So Peter grabbed an oar
And hopped into the lifeboat
To save his brave young soul
He paddled for three long days
When his ear drawn by a whisper
To a small barren atoll

(Chorus)

Peter stumbled from his craft
And collapsed upon the shore
When a whisper drew his gaze
With cascades of ink down her neck
Her beauty was undeniable
A woman amongst the waves

She said please won’t you my dear
You look so weak and feeble
Won’t you stay and lie with me
So that night as Peter slept
The stalking beast took his boat
And bore it in her teeth
As she dragged it out to sea

With splinters in her teeth
She returned to Peter’s side
She wrapped him in her arms
And held him tight as his heart did slow
The beast of the waves
Had claimed him for her own

(Chorus)
