The Devil & the Deep Blue Sea

I was dreaming of a sunny day 
and for time I was taken back
Although there was darkness all around
we sailed into the black
I found a dream I could pursue
aboard a ship out on the blue
———————-
The horizon shining in our eyes
 we set sail for distant lands
 the stars were there to guide the way
 and the wind was at our backs
 ———————-
Please tell my girl, “I won’t be long”
and how I’ll weather the storm and make it home
And “although the wind rages on
I will dream of the summer all year long”
