The Amber Nichole

I was the captain of the Amber Nichole No prouder captain was there than me She was the very essence of my soul A finer ship never sailed any sea. We braved the seas from shore to shore In search of treasure and adventure The world was our playground to explore And no place was too far to venture. Then came that terrible night at sea With raging thunder that shook my soul The storm of storms that ripped me From the deck of the Amber Nichole! I watched my proud ship from the swells Through the storm go down by the keel And I knew that I would never set sail On her again, nor stand behind her wheel. I've been stranded here ten years In this desert so far from sea Cast away, with only my tears And my precious memories. But I'm crying an ocean of tears So I can set sail again one day On a raft, I've built out of prayers I'm just a few million tears away. And when I find where she lies Where she sank to Davey's Deep Then there I'll lay me down to die And pray the Lord my soul to keep... On the deck of the Amber Nichole! In the arms of my little girl In the bosom of my soul And, the center of my world. Hush little darling don't you cry Your daddy's gonna love ya child Until the end of time.... Timothy I. Brumley (To my daughter Amber.....I miss you.)
