The Diving Bell - We Came, We Conquered lyrics

When I was young and brave I sailed with the crew of the Whiskey Jane South and south and south It got warm, then cold again To the edge of the map and farther We sailed through waters fierce and fair To wonders that lay beyond us To be the first ones there We came, we conquered The wild frontier We asked and answered Every question there Til there were no more She had a Pontiac like a pirate ship Bent on risk and ill-gotten gain South and south and south To the coast, in a torrid rain We sent men into orbit Then got bored and brought them home The west is won and settled There are no more unknowns Bridge: ‘Twas the dead of night and winter When the wind began to whisper There were lights beneath the water And a song So much yet to prove But nothing to explore
