You swept over me like a raging sea Lashing and crashing my side 'til I just gave way You were the tempest-tossed, given up for dead and lost You sailed on, the eye of the storm — You were the eye of the storm You left me behind when you severed all ties Sworn lone drifter you'd be, but you'll never be free Oblivion bound, you'll never be found You sail on, the eye of the storm — You're the eye of the storm High on the seas you roam, a sack of skull and bone All plunder and pillage inside, the roving-roughish kind And if time hasn't touched you at all; you're the same as before Still plowing and cursing the deep in your man-of-war With all the whiskey and rye and a curse on your mind You sail on, the eye of the storm — You're the eye of the storm From time to time, you still crawl across my mind Just a mumbling, stumbling thief in the black of night You're a tree with a broken limb, picked up and thrown by the wind! You're the gale's deafening pound, you're the boom and you're the howl! You're hail stoning the deck and the ship about to wreck! You're Blackbeard on the bow with a fuse in your mouth! And you sail on, the eye of the storm — You're the eye of the storm From Letras Mania
