Well
the first mate he mutinied
And ports us to shore
With the rations he was generous
With the company he was poor
The boatswain he killed himself
The cabin boy was next
This is land is perfidious
This island is hexed
For the first two years,
I had a hope,
my mind it was sound
I exercised and fantasized
on how I'd soon be found
But the storms they came
and swept away
every comfort planned
And year by year, through my fear,
this was my fi nal land
Now it's seven years I've been alone
It's seven years of pain
The memory of your love
is all that now remains
Tomorrow I will set to sea
one final time
Then David Jones can take my bones,
I'll lay me down to die
7 years have passed away,
7 years of sand
The empty skies, my empty eyes,
this never was the plan
Seven years have passed away,
seven years of sand
The empty skies, my empty eye s,
this never was the plan
Sev en years have passed away,
seven years of sand
The empty skies, my empty eyes,
this never was the plan
For seven years I've walked away,
for seven years I stand
The empty skies, my empty eyes,
this never was the land
For seven years I've walked away,
for seven years I stand
The empty skies, my empty eyes,
this never was the land
You
