Chorus:
Shipwrecked fools know no school
Play their games outside of rules
Swashbuckling sailors saving their crews
Mates risk their necks to salvage shipwrecks
Lyrics:
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 pleasure - your search combines
A lifetime spent hoping to find the meanings in time
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 ...
Genre: rock, pop, electric folk, alternative, ac (adult contemporary), modern sea shanty
Mood: very rhythmic take on a modern sea shanty - with a slight melancholy undertone
About the Song:
Finding the connection between modern sailors searching
for sunken treasure and the original crews who went down with their
ship. What is the power that draws one to go to sea. - its vastness,
perils, hopes, loneliness ....
Suggestive of reincarnation and finishing of old business.
