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
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
