Waverider
Out where the oceans are empty and wide And the satellites watch from the sky There's a few who remember her name and her run When the wind-driven waves run high
Refrain: Waverider was her name Waverider was her name She was the fastest ever to sail the seas Waverider was her name
She was a forty foot trimaran and a knife-edge keel Built for one purpose alone To dance on the face of the mightiest waves And to steal their speed for her own
For the fastest clipper ships that ever did sail Could pull twenty-eight knots they say But the great long, wind driven, deep sea waves Roll a thousand miles in a day
Joe Spanos built her hull, her mast and her sails That would dance on the lightest breeze Beth Spanos built her sensors, her voice and her brain That she could learn and speak at the seas
And at sixty-two knots on a hundred foot wave She made her run 'neath a clear blue sky 'Till a gust took her mast down to touch the sea She cartwheeled and tried to fly She cart-wheeled and Beth Spanos died
Refrain
Joe Spanos lived. He built her anew It took a year but he made her whole With titanium and glass in her hull and her mast And Beth in her voice and her soul
When they put her over side, Joe boarded alone They took the heading that the satellites gave And they sat at the tiller with her voice in his ear And said, 'Baby, now pick us a wave.'
Well, the first wave rose like a steel grey wall The second wave stood high But the third wave rose to block the sun Waverider, she said, 'Aye'
And for twenty-one hours they rode that wave The grandfather of them all Two hundred feet from crest to trough 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 And a thousand miles to fall
Until 'Captain,' she said, 'the word's come down The satellites see it plain Grandpa's feeling the bottom and he'll break too soon We've got to come back and try it again They say we'll come back and try it again'
Joe said, 'Baby, how much time have we got?' She said, 'Joe, we could finish the run But we'd never get clear.' He said, 'Hell with that We're going to finish what we've begun By God, we'll finish what we've begun.'
And the hours and the miles, they rode and they fell While the world clamored faint and far And grandpa grew tired, and old, and mean And Joe steered by a westering star
And as he fought with the tiller to keep her afloat In a Hell of white water and spray She said, 'Captain, our twenty-four hours are done Sixty-eight knots for the day Sixty-eight knots mean speed for the day.'
'But the break's rollin' down on us at 50 knots The crest's too steep and too high' Joe said, 'Grandpa's been patient now long enough Oh, baby, it's a good day to die Oh, Beth, it's a good day to die
Refrain
Waverider, they found with her hull stripped bare Her mast and her fittings clean gone And they put her on display and they patched her scars And they sold her and said she'd sail on
But the Waverider never was a rich mans toy She broke her moorings in a night's black storm Cut her hulls on a reef and a mile deep fell And the waves forever keep her from harm And the waves forever keep her from harm
But out where the oceans are empty and wide And the satellites watch from the sky There's a few who remember her name and her run When the wind-driven waves run high When the wind-driven waves run high
