Sky is overcast Old man of the sails Summoning to mass Terns upon the rails By some mystic means Of changing gulls to kings Old man had a way So the seagulls sang
[Chorus:] Our hoard has been abducted by a common draft
Old craft of mine And left us on a raft Goodbye ye kings in the sky Our stand has been abandoned by the rubes we crossed
Ships in the sky And left us at a loss Ye old craft of mine Our vessel has been boarded by a common craft Ships in the sky
And left us on a raft
So long ye old craft of mine Our channels are abandoned and the craft is lost Ships in the sky
Left with an Albatross
Cursed flock descending Terns upon the rails Charmed by instruments and charts Compasses and scales
Din is overwhelming Screaming mob will find So as they have made us deaf The old man made them blind
By some scheme or sorcery The ship had taken flight Capsized by the moon and strewn Its wreckage through the night
See gulls all the same Searching for the rails Summoning in vain Old man of the sails Still they dive and sing Of becoming kings Old man now they say Lives far below the waves
[Chorus]
So long, ye old craft of mine Good bye, ye ships in the skyTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
