Words & Music by Jameson Fox, 2021
She’s carved out of stone and been around four hundred years
With a thousand little nooks put there by many bombardiers
Listen to her lines as they tell you what they hear
Listen, and she will come to you
By way of force or weathered ears it’s hard enough to hear
Her wisdom flows like water to the naval engineer
Listen to her lines as they tell you what they hear
Listen, and she will come to you
Enlarged is the fool who’s fooled and taken by the jeer
On winter’s fallen snow that’s been around most of the year
Listen to her lines as they tell you what they hear
Listen, and she will come to you
The wicked wind will steal her still on this winter’s morning
The truth is that this battered ship will welcome winter’s warning
The waves are rough, her sail has torn, her men are doomed
Lost in the Bay of Biscay
The sky did swell; the ocean rose, and tore apart the schooner
The rain fell hard and all her men tried desperately to save her
Their cries for help will go unheard, her men are doomed
Lost in the Bay of Biscay
Listen to her lines as they tell you what they hear
Listen, and she will come to you
