The White Ships You Turned Loose

The White Ships You Turned Loose

(sung to the tune of "Turn Loose the Mermaids" by Nightwish)

A cloud above the shipyards grey

At the end of the road far far away

A sailor holding on to the magic of birth and awe

Oh, how beautiful it used to be

Just you and me far beyond the sea

The waters, scarce in motion

Quivering still

In the bay of the Havens the sundown beams

All the relics of a life long lived

Here, weary traveller rest your wand

Sleep the journey from your eyes

Good journey, love, time to go

I looked in your eyes and warmed your toes

In the horizon I see them coming for you

The grey-elves’ grace, the forever call

Beauty in seamist on an old ship’s prow

The white ships you turned loose brought back your tears

In the bay of the Havens the sundown beams

All the relics of a life long lived

Here, weary traveller rest your wand

Sleep the journey from your eyes
