Wreck of the hesperus — Procol Harum

(single drum beat) (piano w/bass, acoustic guitar, and drums)

Verse

We'll hoist a hand Becalmed upon a troubled sea "Make haste your funeral," cries the Valkyrie We'll hoist a hand Or drown amidst a stormy sea "Here lies a coffin," cries the cemetery, it calls to me

Chorus

And all for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed No thoughts explained, no moments gained, no hope forever lost One moment's space, one moment's final fall from grace Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire

Verse

We'll hoist a hand Becalmed upon a troubled sea I fear a mighty wave is threatening me

We'll hoist a hand Or drown amidst a stormy sea Come follow after cry the humble, you will surely see

Chorus

But still for nothing quite in vain was hope forever tossed No moments gained, no thoughts explained, no hope forever lost One moment's space, one moment's final fall from grace Burnt by fire, blind in sight, lost in ire
