Amazing Blondel - Seascape lyrics

Strains of delight come greet my ears Such music sweet can ease all fears As windy waves upon the shore Do calm the cormorant by their roar. Wistfully watching I wonder As ships go out to sea At mariners yonder And how their lives must be. With oceans to wander coves of tranquillity Oh none could be fonder Of his sailor's life than he. Sights of beauty come soothe my eyes. Paint pcitures pure to flay disguise, Of coral reefs and sheltered bays, Unchartered coastlines to appraise. Wistfully watching I wonder As ships go out to sea At mariners yonder And how their lives must be. With oceans to wander coves of tranquillity Oh none could be fonder Of his sailor's life than he. Through foul or fair All tempests you'll bear Yet show not a care For the danger you're in. You leave all behind Trade kin and your kind For capstan to wind And a yarn to spin. Idyll of grandeur excite my mind, Conjure up peace with adventure entwined; Crystal clear fathoms and myriad wrecks, Attired in booty arrayed on their decks.
