Neptune's Car - The Charm lyrics

rate me

Just off the coast of this rocky shore.

Deep down under these crashing waves.

Buried beneath this soft, white sand.

Lies a locket from a pocket —

A story steeped in lore.

There was a girl. There was a boy.

There was a full, round moon.

There was a ship. There was a trip.

He would come home soon.

A parting kiss. A long embrace.

And, just in case. A good luck charm.

Arm in arm. And then apart.

She gave him — her heart.

Chorus:

Once there were pirates on the rolling sea.

Thunder and lightning were a mystery.

Fleets of trade ships sailed into history.

Can you sift through the wreckage

to find treasure in me?

There was a storm. The masts were torn.

The ship was lost — one afternoon.

At this she wept. But he was swept —

Gently to a small lagoon.

A cast away. A distant land.

And in his hand. A good luck charm.

Safe from harm. He watched alone.

For a ship to bring him home.

Chorus

There was a man — too old to stand.

There was a waning moon.

There came a ship. Another trip.

He would be home soon.

He saw her face. A state of grace.

And in this very space.

Arm in arm. They gave the charm —

A final resting place.

Chorus
