lyrics

Elizabeth

William on the deck
of the Elizabeth in his fourth year at sea
when he feels her run aground upon
the rocks beneath he weeps
Oh this flimsy life
he speaks to her gaily of there times

But oh no not here
Oh no
not here
not now
William finds her out

The time it is now
for our life together to come to its end
the ship she begins to groan for the loss of there love
upon these horrible seas
You've been the kindest captain I've know at the helm
I've known you so well

Oh no not here
Oh no
not here
not now

Elizabeth I'm fighting
the urge to end it all now
in my hand is our rifle for protection
let it protect me from drowning
in this now

My love right here
My love
right here
in this hour
and she finds him out

William lifts his arm
thus ending
his fourth year
at sea
