    Default Last Watch

    First Watch
    Flags are flying, seas are rising
    Secure the decks all hands look lively

    Middle Watch
    Surfing through the foam, force 12 the rig moans
    One eye on the glass, it’s still building

    Morning watch
    Airs full of spray, covered by grey
    Lee shore ahead, Up a few points if you please

    Forenoon Watch
    Sands are in slow motion
    The lead doesn’t lie
    Running out of ocean
    Please don’t let my good ship die

    Is it time to say goodbye

    Flags are flying, seas are rising,
    shorten sail, turn from home.
    Dirty weather ahead, feeling of dread,
    secure the decks and look lively.

    Surfing through foam, hear the rig moan,
    one eye on the glass, it is still falling.
    Ebony night, storms at its height,
    slipping toward land, no moon to guide us.

    First of the light, land is in sight.
    The lee shore draws near,
    up a few points if we dare.

    Airs full of spray, cloaked in grey.
    Let loose the anchors,
    the gig has blown away.

    Sands in slow motion,
    the lead doesn’t lie,
    running out of ocean.
    It’s time to say goodbye.
