Letra da Música Cheer Up, Love (Worse Things Happen At Sea) de Smokey Bastard

I saw a woman by the shore
Her feet half buried in the sand
As waves were lappin', sun was nappin'
She was cryin' for her man
And with a tear she dropped
And never stopped
And told of how this misery began

Each day for seven years
She'd walked the beach in case she saw
A heaving ship returning, fat with riches
Headed for the shore
With needless wealth
And the one man
That she'd been longin' for

No clue was given of
The crew of her lover's cursed ship
A simple voyage of discovery
A three-year round-trip
Sullen hope had never yielded
So she knelt with quivering lip

So there the woman by the shore
Her knees half buried in the sand
As waves were lappin', sun was nappin'
She was searchin' for her man
With a final tear she stopped
And I began to understand.

This underwater tomb is keeping me from you
While my decaying body festers, my soul will never rest
And though I long to see your face
this sunken ships'deck I must pace
Remaining Shackled by this chains
forever and a day

And though you may cry yet
You must endeavor to forget me
So when you learn of my demise
Your soul can rise

The setting of the sun was fire
Her face a crimson red
Her bloodshot eyes staring toward the beheaded figurehead
Disfigured, dismembered
But remembered in his stead.

This underwater tomb is keeping me from you
While my decaying body festers, my soul will never rest
And though I long to see your face
this sunken ships'deck I must pace
Remaining Shackled by this chains
forever and a day

And though you may cry yet
You must endeavor to forget me
So when you learn of my demise
Your soul can rise

Now seven years of doubt
Have left her face by time betrayed
Unraveled dreams of a past life with her man becoming frayed
With a tear she dropped into the sea
As hope began to fade
