2. This started as a joke between Ms. JitterbugPerfume and me.

I told her if I ever started singing they would have to "Batten down the hatches Eddie (me) is going to sing." Along the way it got serious. It is a personal love story.

So here goes. I will leave out the chorus.

The Eastern wind blowed full our sagging sails
And blowed us West to the Nipponese
Where the sun rose up dripping red
Rose up from the bloody sea.

The winds blowded up purple and fast
Blue lightning flashed
And the lightning splashed
Blue on the bloody sea.

We heard from afar the Siren's song
And high on her waves we flew
And quick at last she wrecked us fast
On the shores of the Nipponese.

I woke alone with broken bones
Upon that distant shore
And the sun rose high in the redding sky
And shed her warmth on me.

The sun moved west across the sky
Casting her shadows long
Then the dark stole in with Pirate stealth
As the dark will often do.

I woke again with morning's light
The Siren hovering over me
She hovered as might a bird in flight
While singing her Siren's song.

End first part
