the magic lantern - romeo & juliet (iii) lyrics

Loading...

romeo’s gone, he ran away
far out to sea, said he couldn’t stay
say’s she’s better off, this way
but his guilty heart knows he’ll have to pay

he’s growing old, with a fine gray beard
captains his ship, respected and feared
but when he’s alone, she’s on his mind
and when he’s alone, he prays that time will unwind

one day the sea, turned from friend to enemy
captain and crew, bailed as hard as hard could be
but their cause was lost, so they stopped and all shook hands
knowing they’d all drown, never see the promised land

some clung to wood, bobbed atop the ocean waves
knowing that they had, no chance of being saved
so they each gave up, in their own private way
but the captain lived, an angel carried him to a bay

as he awoke, the sun upon his face
he knew he’d been saved, to return to this place
the sand on which he lay, had held him long ago
and his saviours name, was little romeo

soon the angel left, to fix his nets
honest fisherman, -ssumed orphan
and he never knew, his mothers grave
or that they one he’d sought, was the one he’d saved

so the story ends, and so its told
the angel left to grow old
while his father died, where he lay
but their juliet still sings today…
