I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
Strangers ne’re were welcome but for curiosity
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand
And things would never be the same
In our village on the sand

When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
And from then on things were not the same
In our village on the sand

The smugglers cam into your town and many sought to run
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
He was different than the others in
My village on the sand

He told me of the years he’d spent on the stormy seas
Then he spoke of a poet’s words of philosophy
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
And I knew that I’d never see again
My village on the sand
