The Ballad of Solomon Browne

from Swan Songs by Simon King

	/

lyrics

From cliffs above the sea, the Christmas lights are blinking,
Another Christmas Eve, a ship at sea is sinking.

The men that heard the call, had gathered in devotion,
The bravest act of all, was made without a question

Remember, December, what you did will live forever
Remember, December.

Like shadows in the night, they launched her into anger
A ghost ships distant lights, pulled under by the water

Remember, December, what you did will live forever
Remember, December.
Remember, December, what you did will live forever
Remember, December.

From cliffs above the sea, the Christmas lights are no more,
A village lost at sea, just wreckage washed up ashore

Remember, December, what you did will live forever
Remember, December.
Remember, December, what you did will live forever
Remember, December.
