Mary Celeste                             © Paul J Penton March 2008

She hides everything in a  dark swirling mist and lives in a ghostly halo,    
this girl is cloaked in mystery 
her spider-web wheel spins round and around
she drifts on a dead calm sea

her sails await a friendly wind
but none ever comes blowing

Mary Celeste
Mary Celeste
Trying to make up for the life that you missed
you sail upon a sea of regrets all alone
oh Mary Celeste

her fiery emotions are strong as the tide, you don’t want to let them down
her lofty ideas are telegraph masts
her eyes become lanterns as she tells you about them
they explode in a firework blast,

too many days asleep in the hammock
too many nights alone on the deck

Mary Celeste
Mary Celeste
Trying to make up
for the life that you missed
you sail upon a sea of regrets all alone
oh Mary Celeste

she’s a puffy white moon that floats in the stars
smoothing the tides of emotional scars
the floorboards creek to a lonely homecoming
from a party of fools where she sat and did nothing

REPEAT VERSE ONE –NO PRE CHORUS
