Seafaring Song
Seafaring Serenade: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Distant Horizons
Lyrics
I traveled the world around
I have traveled extensively around the world.
Wandered far from home
I wandered far away from my home.
Sailed the ocean 'neath foreign skies
I sailed the ocean beneath foreign skies.
Still further to roam
There's still further to roam, suggesting a continued journey.
Back into my baby's arms
I returned to the embrace of my loved one.
Safe from this world of woe
Safe from the troubles of the world.
That was such a long, long time ago.
This joyful reunion feels like it happened a long time ago.
Captain hollered
The ship's captain shouted or called out.
The cabin boy stared into the sun
The cabin boy gazed directly into the sun, possibly indicating a challenging or intense situation.
Shadows waltzing so close behind
Shadows are persistently close, perhaps symbolizing troubles that follow.
Ever far I run
No matter how far I run, challenges continue to pursue me.
Back into my baby's arms
I find solace again in the arms of my beloved.
Safe from this world of woe
Once more, I'm protected from the hardships of the world.
That was such a long, long time ago
This comforting return feels like a distant memory.
Sirens capture my trembling heart
Sirens, mythical creatures, capture my vulnerable heart.
What's to be will be
Acceptance of fate - what will happen, will happen.
Moon is hidden
The moon is concealed, and a significant agreement or event has concluded.
The deal is done
Symbolic imagery of protection and shelter spreading over the speaker.
Spread her wings o'er me
I return to the comforting embrace of my loved one.
Back into my baby's arms
The return is gentle and quiet.
Rising soft and low
This return to safety feels like it happened a long time ago.
That was such a long, long time ago
(Instrumental outro or pause)
