Samantha McKaige - White-Capped Glee

Fall came o'er the water as the night bled into day
I followed close behind her as she led my world astray
Who could have ever known the dangerous secrets kept onboard?
And jealousy with white-capped glee struck down the final chord

The portraits in the galley overflowed a deep, red wine
The clocks that had once ticked had since run out of all their time
The captain and his anchor held on tight to see the day
And yet her duty called and she was lost beneath the waves

Emergency evacuation sounded through the crowd
But she who was not listening devoted all her doubt
The ever-aching groan that overcame her as she fell
Was something never heard before as all old stories tell

And so the story goes that she went down and she went low
But I have always fought to find out what I did not know
The drinking and the rivalry that flooded down those halls
Was stronger than the waves that overcame and let her fall

Screaming at the ocean when you lose the one you love
Felt as though the sun upon my skin had come undone
Like winter waves and tall cascades could take me with one swipe
And following you down below would only make this right
