Moonflower 3 - Such Is This Life That We Live On The Ocean
Moonflower 3 - Such Is This Life That We Live On The Ocean
Such is this life that we live on the ocean
To spend our days in perpetual motion,
Where time is measured by sunrise and set
And dinner decided by what’s in the net.
We’re 2,000 miles into our race
And, until this week, have been setting pace
But the wind has now left us for three days and nights
And for every mile our sail had to fight
We said to ourselves, ‘Patience we must be,
For such is this life on the sea.’
Yet when we woke this morning,
The day still dawning,
The crew still yawning,
Ready to recommence mourning,
For another day of no motion
We found the wind had returned
And now to St Lucia we’re spurned!
Such is this life on the ocean.
So onwards we charged
In our loveable barge
We’re picking back up the pace,
And now no sounds of sails flapping
Disturb our napping,
Moonflower is back in this race!
And although we’re fourteenth,
We’re still cutting our teeth
It’s our debut race, don’t forget,
Our team may be young
But we’re having the most fun
Don’t bet against us just yet.
It’s still 800 miles ’til we see land
And we’re hoping we still have a few days in hand,
But it’s part of the allure
That we can’t ever be sure
For fair wind and seas there’s no magic potion,
Such is this life on the ocean.
