The Lady Words and music by Jodi Krangle © 1995The white ship goes wandering upon the dark waves, In the summer it left from the shore Many a husband and many a son Have departed with her once before. But the Lady is faithful, she rides the bright sea Her bowing is graceful, full of dignity She speeds 'cross the water, the wind at her back And the crew hopes she'll carry them home The Captain takes passengers on in the night From the New World they sail to the Old The gentleman smiles to the Captain and crew But the little girl's gaze is ice cold The Lady is faithful, she sails bravely on Though when daylight arrives, her new boarders are gone... The Captain shrugs carelessly, pocketing gold That he'll spend if he ever sees home Dark down below Where no one dares go... The ship is far cleaner than ever before For the vermin have left her in peace A strange fog has risen to blanket the deck And the crew catch a wasting disease Still the Lady is faithful, the oceans she'll tame Both the dead and the living she carries the same She speeds 'cross the water, winds urging her on And the crew knows they'll never see home. Dark down below Where no one dares go... The ghost ship floats gently to stop at a port Though the sails have been left to fly free Deep in the night something slips from the deck And blends with the human debris. But the Lady stayed faithful, embracing her crew Though their days of fast living were certainly through... And what they delivered, they never knew As their ship came to rest far from home. And the Lady would never more roam.
