Lyrics
(Verse 1) In a tavern by the harbor, where shadows dance with grog, Old Captain Jack leaned on the bar, his eyes a stormy fog. He sang of distant islands, of treasures buried deep, And the siren’s haunting melody that lulled sailors to sleep.
(Chorus) “Oh, the whispering tides, they call my name, To the edge of the world, where the stars aflame. With a heart full of longing, and a ship made of dreams, I’ll chase the horizon, where the ocean gleams.”
(Verse 2) His crew, a ragged bunch, with salt-cracked lips and eyes, They’d weathered storms and battled krakens under moonlit skies. Their hands, like leather, gripped the rigging tight, As they sang of lost Atlantis and mermaids in the night.
(Chorus) “Oh, the whispering tides, they call my name, To the edge of the world, where the stars aflame. With a heart full of longing, and a ship made of dreams, I’ll chase the horizon, where the ocean gleams.”
(Verse 3) The wind, a drunken sailor, tousled their sun-kissed hair, As they sailed beyond charts, where compass needles dared. They danced on the deck, their voices raised in glee, For the sea was their lover, wild and untamed and free.
(Chorus) “Oh, the whispering tides, they call my name, To the edge of the world, where the stars aflame. With a heart full of longing, and a ship made of dreams, I’ll chase the horizon, where the ocean gleams.”
(Bridge) And when the moon hung low, like a silver doubloon, They’d toast to fallen comrades, to the ones who’d left too soon. Their laughter echoed over waves, a chorus of lost souls, As they sang of love and fortune, of mysteries untold.
(Chorus) “Oh, the whispering tides, they call my name, To the edge of the world, where the stars aflame. With a heart full of longing, and a ship made of dreams, I’ll chase the horizon, where the ocean gleams.”
(Final Verse) When Captain Jack grew weary, his bones as old as driftwood, He’d gaze into the abyss, where the sea met sky for good. And there, among the constellations, he’d find solace in the night, As the whispering tides carried him toward the first morning light.
