lyrics

Chapter 121: Midnight -- The Forecastle Bulwarks

I take a turn on the floor
To lash the anchors once more.
I don a gentleman's hat
And the coattails to match
'Cause they channel the storm.

And so I keep myself dry
But when the lightning comes by
It don't give me no pause
'Cause I've counted those odds
Like a sensible man.

And my flesh ain't the same as yesterday,
My mind's the same,
It never stays in the place I started from.

I'm a sensible man.
I'm a sensible man.
I see the cards in my hand,
And play them out as I can.
