about

Featuring Laura Thomas and Ian C. Thomas

lyrics

When they arrived there were bones of a ship,
Lying still here on the sand.
Two hundred years since it sailed adrift,
And wrecked on this far distant land.

People came out here,
To drink their beer
On the polished deck.
Years followed years,
As the locals came
To picnic on the wreck.

Days sailed away,
They borrowed wood,
Burned it on the shore,
And still the legend grew,
In shifting sands
That sailed forevermore.

Who still believes in the Mahogany Ship?
No-one can tell us where she lay,
Lost to dreams, and lost to memory,
Since like a ghost she sailed away.
Away.

Heave to, and trim the sails
If we’re fast, we might avoid the gale
Tide is turning, we’re too near the shore
If this works, we’ll make it home once more.

Heave to, and trim the sails (turn East)
If we’re fast, we might avoid the gale (turn North)
Tide is turning, we’re too near the shore (turn West)
If this works, we’ll make it home once more. (turn South)
Turn South!

Hold your faith, we can find a way
If we don’t then we’ll be here to stay
Got no chart that we know will get us there,
We’ll be through only on a wing, or a prayer.
Heave to...

Who remembers the Mahogany Ship?
Who can remember where she lay?
Who believes in the Mahogany Ship,
Since like a ghost she went away?
