The storm passed close
Too close for comfort
And a breeze foul did blow
It threatened the ship
Indeed it rocked
As if struck a mighty blow....
I felt afraid and wanted to run
For comfort and shelter down below
Nay, I stood fast and cupping a hand
I yelled for my love to show
Please dear God
Do not take him from me now
As fear gripped my heart
And made it icy cold
I wondered if he'd abandoned ship
And left me all alone
The tears they flowed
But still I stood
Until I felt that my feet
Had turned to chunks of wood
And then from somewhere
Maybe the stern
My love he answered me
And as he walked back to me
My heart began to burn
I held him tight against my breast
And only then...
Were my fears laid to rest
