Shipwrecked fools know
no school Play their games outside of rules Swashbuckling sailors saving their crews Mates risk their necks to salvage shipwrecks |

BURIED
TREASURE ©1995 Rich & Flo Newman (BMI) What is your buried treasure Where do you keep it hid How will I ever find it Would I recognize it if I did Treasure seekers plundering gold Spanish galleons - as the days unfold Is it treasure or plasure - your search combines A lifetime spent hoping to find the meanings in time (Chorus) Shipwrecked fools know no school Play their games outside of rules Swashbuckling sailors saving their crews Mates risk their necks to salvage shipwrecks And where's the fine carved lady Named for the captain's niece Eyes haunting Neptune's daughter She lies rotting in the deep History's forgotten the mates and their mates No names, no faces, no relevant dates Deep down inside you, you know you were there Following your captain in a deep drowned despair. Shipwrecked fools ... And who's the family that can guess their fate Encrusted in this coral reef with their pieces of eight He called for more sail - As they lowered the boom A crack in the mast chartered your doom How many lives later, you find that you've found A link with the water - the circle has come round Sink or swim - raptures untold Sink or swim - ships rusted and rolled Sink or swim - Drowned drowned, trapped down below. Shipwrecked fools ... The compass and the sextant Have turned a turquoise green Star course set by the navigator A cruel jest or just a dream Shipwrecked fools ... What is your buried treasure ... |

Finding
the connection between modern sailors searching for sunken treasure and
the original crews who went down with their ship. Suggestive of reincarnation
and finishing of old business. Title: Buried Treasure Author(s):Richard & FloraLee Newman Year:©1995 Pro:BMI Licensing: contact authors Publisher: contact authors |
