High waves she cut them up in two
The storm's eye we could see
With her tattered sails shaking in the gale
A terror for a sight was she Cutting through the clouds the moon swept the deck
Her wooden bones all alight
With a quick glimpse, ghostly was the wreck
I couldn't see a soul in sight She's like a feather in a storm
Blowing on the wind
She's like a feather in a storm
When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes
Two beacons bright Timber cracked as she broke upon her back
Her wooden bones all exposed
Stuck there fast with a weather-beaten mast
A pale strong figure he arose Then standing at the helm, the devil I could tell
His silver cloak all alight
With two burning eyes dancing in the sky
A terror on a winter's night She's like a feather in a storm
Blowing on the wind
She's like a feather in a storm
When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes Two beacons burning brightly on the tide
A fair warning to return another night
Go quickly when he's chasing you with flames burning bright She's like a feather in a storm
Blowing on the wind
She's like a feather in a storm
When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes She's like a feather in a storm
Blowing on the wind
She's like a feather in a storm
When the devil threw those cold scarlet eyes
Two beacons bright
Cold scarlet eyes
Two beacons bright
