Thanks for helping me out! I'm not sure it's all Maggie's fault I can't decipher everything: my English vocabulary just isn't what it should be... Here's what I could make of the other verses: I called out for the captain Inquiring of our journey-o And there beheld a lady fair She set my heart a-yearning-o "I am your captain, sir" she said, "I go where no man dared to go" And you will serve me up aloft, And likewise serve me....below Upon my hand she placed a ring With...jewels a-fine o "This token sir" she said to me "'t will bind your heart to mine-o ....will keep you ever young, safe from the toll of time-o And keep you on the ship of fools, Long as the stars do shine-o She took me to her cabin ... She kept me to the matin-o I searched to find my sea legs bold Between the sheets of satin-o Aloft upon the empty deck No seamen could I find-o But cold waves...our lonely bows And seabirds flew behind-o We plow the .... in sight of(?) land But never touch the shore-o And we did roam for seven years 'til I did yearn no more-o in ......... I was intwined reluctant to release me-o the ship of fools bids no ... until the last wave seizes-o the ship of fools bids no ... until the last wave seizes-o Cheers, Renske
