Ship Moved On
(and now the ship moved on....)
She took us like a valiant steed,
from coast
to islands free,
where Tongan tapas decked the halls,
of South Pacific glee,
Marquesas, atolls,
reefs and pearls,
far away lands
grass skirts, dancing girls!
(and now the ship moved on.....)
The dream fulfilled,
we headed back,
her wooden body held wind slack.
We heard her fate,
she sank one day,
that boat was old, she had her way....
(and now the ship moved on)
