StrikeWriter - Cook: Nothing Unattempted

♪ [Intro] From the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the distant Isles Captain James Cook racks up the nautical miles Not a river boat man I need a ship to sail Come squall come gale come ice or hail Oh.... oh, come ice or hail [Pre Chorus] The water's just right, let’s dance tonight The rhythm guides me like a stars so bright... From New Found Land to Botany Bay This captain always finds his way At sea... [Chorus] Lizzy my darling I’m off again I may be back but I don’t know when Stranger tides are calling my name The charted world is fine but it's all the same ♪ [Bridge] I leave nothing unattempted as I circle the globe I'll never know what I don't KNOW! So plot a new course to a distant place We'll step onto the beach like an alien race [Verse] The savage seas try to trim my sail But I’m here to dance, and tell my tail I’m charting a course like in seventy one I’m here to party, I’m here to have fun [Pre Chorus] The cannon shot is like a siren’s call This land’s too sturdy for me I plant my flag on foreign lands I’ll conquer every sea Give me one more dance, just give me a chance I need one more journey please! [Chorus] Lizzy my darling I’m off again I may be back but I don’t know when Stranger tides are calling my name The charted world is fine but it's all the same ♪ [Bridge] I leave nothing unattempted as I circle the globe I'll never know what I don't know So plot a new course to a distant place We'll step onto the sand like an alien race [Outro] I’ve seen Venus transit the Sun From all I've seen you're still number one I’ll meet my fate on a distant strait Please save this last dance For me... ♪ I leave nothing unattempted as I circle the globe I'll never know what I don't know Stranger tides are calling my name The charted world is fine but it's all the same
