A Frame In the Sand

And I boarded for to sail
a ship called the Northern Gail
and she was
 yes she was
 a lady
 rich cargoes fill the hole 
all the story was not told
yes she was
 she was a lady
purest silk shone like her sails 
she danced in the Northern gales
and she was
 she was a lady
a rich traveller with looks and gold
all the story is not told
yes she was
 she was a lady

I saw the sea lay her down
white flowers blue satin gown
and she was 
she was a lady
all rich stories told
lost the young 
lost the old
and she was
yes she was a lady
wooden dreams don't seem to last
as all prayed
 the mountains would pass
and she was 
she was a lady
one wave made her bed appear
soft pillows lay under there
and she was 
yes she was a lady
