Captain Torres Lyrics by James Keelaghan

History: The First 25 Years

0

[Verse 1]
How small the Captain Torres
How high the sea
Gale ten and engines failing
No quarter, no lee
They know when the wrong wave hits them
Perdu, they're gone
They’ve played their share of poker
They know odds are long
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
[Verse 2]
Time yet for consolation
Each makes one call
Signals came ship to shore
Words plucked from the squall
His heart a deep, deep ocean
His voice so small
So faint through all the static
Five words, that's all
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
[Bridge]
Do I count myself lucky?
I was home, the phone was ringing
What of others' wives who missed it
Came home to red lights blinking?
[Verse 3]
How strange this world of wonder
Ships sailing, planes flying
Sound sent at speed of light
Phone calls from young men dying
These walls bought and paid for
By labours on board
Gone months to clothe and feed us
Gone now, forever more
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
La mer ne pardonne pas
[Spoken word]
