Try this. I looked on Clusty not google. The Wreckers Prayer "Oh Lord, please don't let there be any shipwrecks, Let the lighthouse shine out bright and clear. But if you feel that there should be a shipwreck, then please Lord, let that ship be wrecked here. There's a path all the way from the clifftop to the caves down below and the sea It's steep and it's loose and it's slippery On a moonless night, you need a little light We don't want any accidents, you see. If there needs to be a tragedy at sea then let the cargo be washed ashore here Oh the living is hard down this way the soil is all stoney and poor We don't have a port, no fish to be caught There's just what the tide brings ashore And the duty free liquor in store. Next time it happens, don't let me be late or allow too much salt water to infiltrate Oh Lord, please don't let there be any shipwrecks, Let the lighthouse shine out bright and clear. But when you feel that there should be a shipwreck, then please Lord, let the next one be here. - Andy Roberts 2003
