Sailing the Moonlit Tempest (Sea Shanty) Lyrics

The silver moon was high and bright

It cast its glow upon the night

But clouds rolled in the winds did wail

We braced ourselves to face the gale

The waves arose a ghostly dance

The storm had us in a wicked trance

With every crash the timbers moaned

But through the dark her light still shone

Oh! Oh! The moon's cold light

Guides us through the storm tonight

We'll ride the waves we'll stand our ground

Till calm is found till calm is found

Oh! Oh! The tempest roars

But we will sail forever more

With moonlit hope to lead the way

We'll see the dawn we'll greet the day

The thunder clapped the lightning flashed

The mast was swayed the sails were slashed

But through it all we held our course

With moonlight as our guiding force

Her glow was faint but still she shined

A beacon strong a hope divine

The storm would rage but we would last

With every wave we stood steadfast

Oh! Oh! The moon's cold light

Guides us through the storm tonight

We'll ride the waves we'll stand our ground

Till calm is found till calm is found

Oh! Oh! The tempest roars

But we will sail forever more

With moonlit hope to lead the way

We'll see the dawn we'll greet the day

And when the storm began to fade

Her silver beams lit the path we made

The crew gave cheer our spirits soared

For through the storm we found our shore

Oh! Oh! The moon's cold light

Guides us through the storm tonight

We'll ride the waves we'll stand our ground

Till calm is found till calm is found

Oh! Oh! The tempest roars

But we will sail forever more

With moonlit hope to lead the way

We'll see the dawn we'll greet the day

The wind it screamed the ropes did strain

The ship was tossed by hail and rain

But high above through skies of grey

The moonlit path still showed the way

Oh! Oh! The moonlit sea

A storm we braved a victory

Her light will guide through trials yet

The moonlit storm we won't forget
