marty o'reilly & the old soul orchestra - the captain's daughter, pt. 2 lyrics

you find me buried by the dawn
spit out by the ocean
scolded by the sun
and delivered to the sand
i’m all salt and skin
and i’m blue and dry and thin
fated by the currents
like the driftwood on the strand

there’s a special kind of loneliness
reserved for lone survivors
a deeper shade of red only the guilty can perceive
sweet lady remembrance+
she rests her hand on the book beside her
there’s a few pages of history
only the witnessed can read

i’m as empty as the ghost
yet so heavy i could holler
prisoner of the land
outcast of the water+
the same which once was tamed
like a great bull in the waves
by a brave and might captain
and once i was his daughter
and i loved the men who sailed her
but none like the first mate
who though often silent all the day
sang when the hour was late
when a ship is lost at sea
it oft is eaten by the ocean
none but the crew can learn an equal thirst
and i became the object of that hunger
for the first mate
but the poor soul didn’t know till far too late
that he’d become mine first…

- marty oreilly the old soul orchestra lyrics
