There's a ship that haunts the desert Of old tales its timbers hewn Ardent, swift it sails the Meadows 'Neath the gaze of a ghostly moon Lead’n stormclouds in the distance Weight of memory bearing down Phantom crew amidst the rigging Voices raised in airy sound: - Sing a song of swallowed Moab Sing of all that went before Feel the Tug, our blessed anchor Fortune bring us Home once more Hold ye fast to the memories Hold fast to the love Hold fast to the stories we share Under the brutal sun above Under the sun above - As the waves mount ever higher And the journey's just begun From the Hellmouth to horizon Anxious eyes turn t'ward the sun Hear the bos'n call "five seven!" And the helmsman "seven eight!" Sun is shining through the weather Home is calling, Home awaits - Sing a song of swallowed Moab Sing of all that went before Feel the Tug, our blessed anchor Fortune bring us Home once more Hold ye fast to the memories Hold fast to the love Hold fast to the stories we share Under the brutal sun above Under the sun above - Errant souls may aimless wander Dusky dreams of distant lands Elsewhere let them stray no longer ‘Ere the sun sets on the sands Wayward hearts so full of longing Vanished voices in the wind May they find the place of Crossing Guide them gentle Home again - Sing a song of swallowed Moab Sing of all that went before Feel the Tug, our blessed anchor Fortune bring us Home once more Hold ye fast to the memories Hold fast to the love Hold fast to the stories we share Under the brutal sun above Under the sun above Under the brutal sun above Under the sun above
