Goodbye my first mate

I spend my days in slumber But no dream could ever match The smiles and the wonder That had kept our love latched Even in storms you were my summer You were the calm as waves crashed And your smile gave me colors Even when the blue was vast But no matter what I plunder I can never take back the past So your shantys what I mutter When the cannon balls fly past Why should my tale make me suffer The longer that it lasts Why should I bother taking cover If I could see you in a flash? We once shared a bond That no one could ever measure But now that you're gone No more ink will fill my ledger I've reached the end of my song And you're still all that I treasure So I promise it won't be long Until we sing it together The crew might say it's wrong To leave this ship forever But I know that I belong Wherever we can be together
