\n
thick fog had settled in on the night
\nYou could barely see a star
\nThe waters were calm and the sails just flopped
\nDamp towells on a clothesline thru the haze
\nI was smoking a cigaretted on the creaky wooden floarboards of the Jupiters Child
\nSipping a bottle of rum when the Princess arrived
\nSat next to me and eased the bottle from my hand
\nTaking a long swig she passed it back to me without a murmour
\n“How ya doin”, ? I said
\nMe is just fine said the Princess
\nShips councillor gave me a clean bill
\nAnd that healer Lady She done wonders on me
\nBin looked after well since I arrived
\nDo you remeber how you arrived Princess ?
\nYeah me little boat bumped into yer skutter and I was hauled abord half dead
\nI like to be thankin you for that
\nNot neccesary I said to the princess
\nWe are benevolent travellers
\nYou looked lost
\nSure did bump my head said Bettie
\nHere, pass me that bottle
\nWe sat in close on the wooden floor
\nShoulder to shoulder
\nAnd looked up at a sky bereft of stars.<\/p>\n
\n
To lonely souls of bereave sit<\/p>\n
Quietly in the night<\/p>\n
Not many words were spoken<\/p>\n
Just sitting sippin on a bottle of rum Rusky had high jack from the coriander of the Admiral quarter early er on<\/p>\n
Then in the quite of the night<\/p>\n
The little princess said pass me a smoke<\/p>\n
It seems ta be greatly enjoyed<\/p>\n
May I have a drag<\/p>\n
\n
No<\/p>\n
Said Rusky<\/p>\n
Your a princess<\/p>\n
And ladies dont smoke<\/p>\n
But ya let me have a swiz of rum<\/p>\n
Said the little priness<\/p>\n
That different<\/p>\n
Said Rusky<\/p>\n
No smokeing ya hear<\/p>\n
\n
Shoulder ta shoulder they sat<\/p>\n
Muss led in a far away corner lookin out at the stars<\/p>\n
Sharin a bottle of rum<\/p>\n
The foggs getting thicker as night grew on<\/p>\n
After a short span of time pass<\/p>\n
The little princess asked<\/p>\n
W hitch way to the star lands from here<\/p>\n
I lost my compere when my little boat crash into your skutter the other day are was it a week ago<\/p>\n
I still have a little foggy memory here ya know<\/p>\n
Lost all me traveling in tires<\/p>\n
They be all lost out there some where in the dark beyond<\/p>\n
Now I wonder how many days to star lands<\/p>\n
And will I ever see home again<\/p>\n
Though it be conforable sittin here wit ya<\/p>\n
I still lone for home<\/p>\n
\n
Not another word was said<\/p>\n
As the two lonely souls just sat an remit the night<\/p>\n
