[Verse 1] long before They ever spoke my name. I was Captain Jane. I traded lace for weathered rope, For cannon smoke and flame. The sea became law, The stars and compass guided true, Yet every port I sailed away Still carried thoughts of you. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the ocean takes her payment, Every promise, every kiss. She'll crown you with horizons, Then remind you what you miss. [Chorus] So if the gulls come crying low, And waves beat soft against your shore, Know every tide that carries me Still longs for you once more. For I have chased the wind and war, Found treasures bright as morning skies, But not a jewel beneath the waves Could match the light within your eyes. The sea may claim my body, love, My soul may roam where wild winds blow, But every star above my mast Still points me home to you. [Verse 2] I've crossed the teeth of hurricanes, Where stronger souls have drowned. I've stolen gold from tyrant kings, Left broken empires down. They sing my name in tavern halls, A legend born at sea, Yet none of them have ever known The softer side of me. [Pre-Chorus] Every victory tastes of salt, Every triumph fades away. For glory makes a lonely fire When no one's there to stay. [Chorus] So if the gulls come crying low, And waves beat soft against your shore, Know every tide that carries me Still longs for you once more. For I have chased the wind and war, Found treasures bright as morning skies, But not a jewel beneath the waves Could match the light within your eyes. The sea may claim my body, love, My soul may roam where wild winds blow, But every star above my mast Still points me home to you. [Bridge] Should the deep one day grow quiet, Should my colors cease to fly, Don't believe the tales they'll tell Of how I chose to die. Say I followed one last sunset, Where sea and heaven blur, With your name upon my weathered lips, My final whispered prayer. [Final Chorus] So light a lantern by the cliffs When winter clouds conceal the moon. If fate is kind, I'll find my way; If not... I'll find you soon. For though my heart belongs to storms, And though my hands were made for sail, It was your love that made me brave When every other courage failed. The sea can keep my legend's name,
