Lyrics
Romeo's gone, he ran away
Far out to sea, said he couldn't stay
Says she's better off this way
But his guilty heart knows he'll have to pay
He's growing old with a fine grey beard
Captain's his ship, respected and feared
But when he's alone, she's on his mind
And when he's alone, he prays the time will unwind
One day the sea turned from friend to enemy
Captain and crew bailed as hard as hard could be
But their cause was lost so they stopped and all shook hands
Knowing they'd all drown, never see the promised land
Some clung to wood, bobbed atop the ocean waves
Knowing that they had no chance of being saved
So they each gave up in their own private way
But the captain lived, an angel carried him to a bay
As he awoke, the sun upon his face
He knew he'd been saved to return to this place
The sand on which he lay had held him long ago
And his savior's name was little Romeo
Soon the angel left to fix his nets
Honest fisherman assumed orphaned
And he never knew his mother's grave
Or that the one he'd sought was the one he'd saved
So the story ends, and so it's told
The angel left to grow old
While his father died where he lay
But their Juliet still sings today
Still sings today
Still sings today
Still sings today
Well, still sings
Well, still sings today
