Song title The Wreck Of The Hesperus
Artist Procol Harum
fisher / reid
well hoist a hand
becalmed upon a troubled sea
make haste to your funeral
cries the valkyrie
well hoist a hand or drown amidst this stormy sea
here lies a coffin
cries the cemetery
it calls to me
and all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
no thoughts explained
no moments gained
all hope forever lost
one moments space
one moments final fall from grace
burnt by fire
blind in sight
lost in ire
well hoist a hand
becalmed upon a troubled sea
i fear a mighty wave is threatening me
well hoist a hand
or drown amidst this stormy sea
come follow after
cry the humble
you will surely see
but still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed
no moments gained
no thoughts explained
all hope forever lost
one moments space
one moments final fall from grace
burnt by fire
blind in sight
lost in ire
