Cheer Up Love (Worse Things Happen at Sea), Pt. 3

Lyrics

I saw a woman by the shore
 Her feet half buried in the sand
 As the sound of waves were lappin', sun was nappin'
 She was cryin' for her man
 And with a tear she dropped
 And never stopped
 And told of how this misery began
 Each day for seven years
 She'd walked the beach in case she saw
 A heaving ship returning, fat with riches
 Headed for the shore
 With needless wealth
 And the one man
 That she'd been longin' for
 ♪
 No clue was given of
 The crew of her lover's cursed ship
 A simple voyage of discovery
 A three-year round-trip
 Sullen hope had never yielded
 So she knelt with quivering lip
 So there the woman by the shore
 Her knees half buried in the sand
 As waves were lappin', sun was nappin'
 She was searchin' for her man
 With a final tear she stopped
 And I began to understand
 This underwater tomb is keeping me from you
 While my decaying body festers, my soul will never rest
 And though you may cry yet
 You must endeavor to forget me
 So when you learn of my demise
 Your soul can rise
 ♪
 The setting of the sun was fire
 Her face a crimson red
 Her bloodshot eyes staring toward the beheaded figurehead
 Disfigured, dismembered
 But remembered in his stead
 This underwater tomb is keeping me from you
 While my decaying body festers, my soul will never rest
 You know why I don't want to see your face
 That talking chicks that kind of makes
 Somebody checks somebody forever everyday
 I told you to mark correct
 You must drive through together, ooh oh
 So when you learn to drive
 You might know it's okay to die
 Now seven years of doubt
 Have left her face by time betrayed
 Unraveled dreams of a past life with her man becoming frayed
 With a tear she dropped into the sea
 As hope began to fade
