aboard the gin palace
lost far from the pleasure dome
somewhere between

He stands before the giant tank,
until it halts,
and then, like a goliath,
climbs aboard,
and to the solider whispers,
peace.

I was sailing alone
in the stormy sea of life,
Sullen thoughts invaded my mind
Dark waves lashed my heart
Until you came aboard,
lost at sea, my soul found the shore.

I had an epiphany that my love for him will never wane
And I will be with him through all of life's pleasure and pain.

A sailor aboard ship in Norfolk
was always quick with a ludicrous joke
Though his humor was lame
he quit the ship to seek fame
Now he's the laughingstock of Roanoke

Welcome Aboard and Look Toward

What I did say is welcome aboard,
And to see again do look toward;

He would lie to them then swear on his word
The gold in his pants a short but sharp sword
Then with his sly grin
He would draw them in
Claim he’d a very cool way of climbing aboard

Who along with will be bringing the Lord;
