Spice Trader Blues

I heard the bells ring, as our ships' captain bellowed
As the moon sails come down from the mast
Well I'll be home, when the barrels are full
And I'll be home, when the winter's passed

And the horizon reached up to the ceiling
And the ocean crashed over the deck
Well I'll be home, when the barrels are full
And I'll be home, but we'rе not through yet

There was firе, there was coal at the junction
As the flames spilled over the [waves[?]]
I bought a yellow rain coat
___________[?]
And I'll be safe from here on in

And I woke to the sound of cannon fire
And I woke to the sound of guns
I say one last prayer, for the [one who we care[?]]
And I can think of no one
And I can think of no one
