Louis Spence Poet Ballad

WILD SEA

In the heart of some dark English city 
Came a sight that turned everyone's head 
When as if from some dream came a wonderful team 
In a wild sea of Boro Red. 

Through all of my life it's been with me 
All the fears, all the tears that I've bled 
It wont run it wont yield it's my comfort and shield 
This wild sea of Boro Red  

  Now this is a beautiful color 
  When I've worn it I've laughed and I've cried 
  It was hewn from the iron men of legend 
  And its run through with passion and pride  

And now my Red Lion days are closing 
As I lie on my funeral bed 
I can see once again all those magical men 
In a wild sea of Boro Red. 

Sorrow soon be gone, glory fill my eyes 
Boro I was born and Boro I will die 
Never stopped believing, I kept my spirits high 
Boro I was born and Boro I will die.
