Wandering Eye
BY: Sky Blue Eyes*** Listen close m'laddie
And I'll tell you a tale Of a ship, The Black Pearl With black-colored sails It had a captain A single Jack Sparrow Who led his crew Through anything And his first mate A pretty little blacksmith William Turner They sailed the high seas Collected gold and treasure Made friends and enemies And discovered mutual pleasure On the ship The captain was loyal But touch upon land And Will's blood boiled Jack Sparrow had a wandering eye And it followed anything it spied Whether it be boy or girl Whether it be rum or ale Anything at all He would tail But Will demanded loyalty Called the wandering mutiny Jack just laughed And swaggered away Far too drunk To try and stay So Will found himself alone Wondering what he did wrong Maybe it was something simple Like fall in love with Jack's dimple Then it hit him, plain and hard Like the song of a drunken bard He'd fallen in love with the kook Captain Jack Sparrow Will couldn't believe it How had he done it? Fallen for a pirate He never would have thought it But now it seemed clear What he had to do Get away from Sparrow And the Black Pearl too In Torotuga, for a night's stay Jack was drunk and far away Will left the ship One thought on his mind This night He and Jack would unbind He followed the beach Tripping on the sand Wishing to be caught By Jack's rough hand But he sound his way To a rock strewn cliff A natural bay For drowning in He peered over the edge At blood-colored stone Stood at the ledge And couldn't even groan 4 final words For all his future "I love you Captain" And then it was over He stepped into air Falling to water Stopped when he got there And was gone forever The next morning Jack got back to his ship Swaying and swaggering And smiling a bit He asked all around Where was his Will? But no one had seen him From midnight until Jack asked all around Fear filling his system Had his blacksmith drowned? Slowly news spread Another soul had fled the Earth Of some horrid cliffs But it didn't hurt the mirth Until the poor captain Discovered who was gone His precious Will Thrown over the edge By his wandering eye Silent tear wiped away kohl His eyes shown Filled with pain, dark as coal Jack Sparrow disappeared Hiding in his quarters The next morning When he did not emerge His crew went searching They found him in bed Covered in crimson blood His knife had left him dead They buried him at sea Let the water take his blood To mix with his love's The blacksmith The pirate Crimson waters stained and shared And now the Black Pearl Sails on No captain will they have The crew pleased To serve a ghost So if ye ever see them Beware the shadows For Sparrow lives on In the spirit and shape Of his only ship The Black Pearl Forever Mourning His blacksmith |
