Just off the coast of this rocky shore
Deep down under these crashing waves
Buried beneath this soft, white sand
Lies a locket from a pocket —
A story steeped in lore

There was a girl There was a boy
There was a full, round moon
There was a ship There was a trip
He would come home soon
A parting kiss A long embrace
And, just in case A good luck charm
Arm in arm And then apart
She gave him — her heart

Chorus:
Once there were pirates on the rolling sea
Thunder and lightning were a mystery
Fleets of trade ships sailed into history
Can you sift through the wreckage
To find treasure in me?

There was a storm The masts were torn
The ship was lost — one afternoon
At this she wept But he was swept —
Gently to a small lagoon
A cast away A distant land
And in his hand A good luck charm
Safe from harm He watched alone
For a ship to bring him home

Chorus

There was a man — too old to stand
There was a waning moon
There came a ship Another trip
He would be home soon
He saw her face A state of grace
And in this very space
Arm in arm They gave the charm —
A final resting place

Chorus
