We saw her there in the sunlight at the edge of the Spanish cave
Her dress clinging soft to her brown skin as she danced in the wind and the waves
Sebastian said, "If she sees us, we're dead...with the scars and the gold we've acquired"
So we sank to the sand with our weapons in hand, but I knew if she turned, I'd not fire
We lay with the treasure beside us, staring out past the overhang
while she left her cares in the white sand and the gulls and the sea birds sang
Sebastian moaned, "Won't she ever go home? Were she mine I'd be mad as a charger"
But I said to myself, "If I had such wealth, I would build her a home near the harbor"
I've traveled far, to the Land of the Rising Sun
Past the Ivory Coast and the Mediterranean
To India for the spices rich men crave
But each night in my mind I lay down in the Spanish cave
We risked a glance as the sun set, she was gone just as soft as she came
So we loaded the boats in the darkening...not a word, not a cry, not a flame
Then Thomas Pryor yelled shots have been fired, so we rowed for the galleon alarming
We pulled through the spray, made it easy away and only my heart took the harming
I've traveled far, to the Land of the Rising Sun
Past the Ivory Coast and the Mediterranean
To India for the spices rich men crave
But each night in my mind I lay down in the Spanish cave
But each night in my mind I lay down in the Spanish cave
