Dave Taylor - Lanza's Shore (feat. lyrics Sue Kendrick) Lyrics

I am a seamans wife
My name is Betty Gray
And on one bitter winters day
My man did sail away

He shipped aboard a submarine
Unbridled was her name
Until the old man spoke for change
And Vandal she became

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry
When the gods are on the water
Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes
Lambs they are to slaughter

Oh well I remember when he set sail
From Lanzas lonely shore
The sky was full of screaming gulls
And the new moon wrapped in the old ones shawl

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry
When the gods are on the water
Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes
Lambs they are to slaughter

Thirty seven brave sailor men
Did sail away that day
Thirty seven for Englands sake
But none came back again

Now the years roll on and the war is done
And broken hearts grow stronger
Ill weep no more on Lanzas shore
And look for him no longer

Oh, hide or die the seabirds cry
When the gods are on the water
Ill luck gleams in their angry eyes
Lambs they are to slaughter
