The Shore

The night surrounds
The cold air brands
Yellow my courage
Purple my hands

I notch the oak
For every wave we face
Seventeen alms and counting
I've promised that I'll make

I haven't heard from my cousin
Since she left three months ago
The shore is the only
Certain way to know

A ship appears at dawn
With its sail's ablaze
Quietly the captain orders
To bring our craft to pace

I recall it then
Something Molly would say
Of sirens in war time
Who'd lure young men away

I haven't heard from my cousin
Since she left three months ago
The shore is the only
Certain way to know
