The Albatross
Sometimes to amuse themselves the men of the crew
Snare and albatross, those vast sea birds
That indolently trail behind the ship
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and satly blue
Scarcely have they pulled them to the floor
Those fallen kings, clumsy and ashamed
Pathetic as they drag their great, white wings
Worthlessly behind like drifting oars
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
Well those soaring travelers flounder on the deck
Once so beautiful, now comical and weak
And the sailors lurch about like crippled beasts upon the waves
And they shove a burning pipe under his beak
The poet is like the prince of the clouds
Who haunts the storm and mocks the archer's bow
Imprisoned on the earth by the weight of heavy wings
Exiled here among the jeering crowds
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
Snare and albatross, those vast sea birds
That indolently trail behind the ship
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and satly blue
Scarcely have they pulled them to the floor
Those fallen kings, clumsy and ashamed
Pathetic as they drag their great, white wings
Worthlessly behind like drifting oars
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
Well those soaring travelers flounder on the deck
Once so beautiful, now comical and weak
And the sailors lurch about like crippled beasts upon the waves
And they shove a burning pipe under his beak
The poet is like the prince of the clouds
Who haunts the storm and mocks the archer's bow
Imprisoned on the earth by the weight of heavy wings
Exiled here among the jeering crowds
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
As they glide over the deep and salty blue
