paroles de chanson Compass And Chart - Iain Matthews
Oh
there
once
was
a
sailor
marooned
on
dry
land
A
voyageless
captain
a
crewless
command
With
the
wind
in
his
hair
he's
a
sight
to
behold
But
an
oceanless
sailor
will
not
be
consoled
He
once
was
a
young
man
and
not
unlike
me
With
the
chart
and
the
compass
for
his
guarantee
With
a
hand
on
the
wheel
and
a
full
magazine
If
you'd
known
young
Riley
you'd
know
what
l
mean
Oh
he
would
not
hold
fast
there
was
no
compromise
It
was
full
speed
ahead
take
them
all
by
surprise
The
greatest
ot
sailors
changed
course
and
heaved
to
For
Benjamin
Riley,
his
ship,
and
his
crew
Oh
oh
anchors
away
Live
for
the
giving
day
after
day
Oh
oh
laugh
and
be
sad
Just
believe
in
yourself
and
trust
in
your
God
Now
most
men
I
know
you
would
not
see
for
dust
As
their
passion
tor
treasure
turned
into
a
lus
T
And
Ben
the
adventurer
was
still
unprepared
When
purely
by
chance
he
discovered
it
there
Oh
it
danced
and
it
sparkled,
it
beckoned,
it
cried
Please
keep
me
and
take
me
along
for
the
ride
For
you
know
I
can
make
you
a
young
millionaire
Come
now,
Captain
Riley,
you
don
't
have
a
prayer
Oh
for
all
of
your
shining
I
don't
give
a
damn
And
you
will
not
distract
me
from
what
I've
begun
For
the
stars
are
my
sisters
the
sea
is
my
heart
And
I
will
not
be
drawn
from
this
compass
and
chart
Oh
oh
anchors
away
Live
for
the
giving
day
after
day
Oh
oh
laugh
and
be
sad
Just
believe
in
yourselt
and
trust
in
your
God
So
they
hoisted
the
anchor
and
folded
the
chain
As
he
pointed
her
eastward
and
back
home
again
It
was
seventeen
days
it
was
sixteen
long
nights
Before
he
encountered
the
strangest
of
sights
They
came
down
to
meet
him
and
took
him
by
force
And
they
questioned
his
morals
for
leaving
that
purse
Saying
we
made
you
a
captain
a
company
man
But
now
seaman
Riley
y
ou
don't
suit
our
plans
Oh
oh
anchors
away
Live
for
the
giving
day
after
day
Oh
oh
laugh
and
be
sad
Just
believe
in
yourself
and
trust
in
your
God
Oh
they've
taken
his
vessel
and
paid
off
the
crew
And
they've
taken
his
charts
and
his
compasses
too
But
Benjamin
Riley
he
still
has
the
heart
And
the
will
and
the
spirit
he's
had
from
the
start
Oh
there
once
was
a
sailor
marooned
on
dry
land
A
voyageless
captain
A
missionless
man
