Village On The Sand

<br>I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea<br>Strangers near were welcome but for curiosity<br>But come they did and when they did ready they did stand <br>And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand...<br><br>When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide <br>When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide <br>When the pirates disembarked they were making plans <br>And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand...<br><br>The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run <br>I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one <br>Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand <br>He was different than others in my Village on the Sand...<br><br>He told me of the years he`d spent on the stormy seas <br>Then he spoke a poet`s words of philosophy<br>And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand <br>And I knew I`d never see again my Village on the Sand...
