The sun has come and sadly set
Nearly four hours ago
Clouds have slammed shut the night light
Pushing out the full moon’s glow
Stars are waiting to sail their shine
Though the darkness has prevailed
Breaking through above the clouds
With their bright lights unveiled
Now the clouds are burned away
The moon and the stars share
There’s nothing more beautiful
Or nothing that can compare

Unfurling my sails
Winds to calm my heart
Emptiness prevails
My wet brow is pale
Not good for a start
Unfurling my sails
Wanting for an ale
Look upon my chart
Emptiness prevails
Why the wind curtails
Keeping us apart
Unfurling my sails
Praying for strong gales
For love I must part
Emptiness prevails
I just can not fail
The tears start to smart
Unfurling my sails
Emptiness prevails
