about

About a true life ship wreck off the coast of Falmouth.

lyrics

Falmouth (The Wreck of the Anson)

Four days from another year,
The crew were happy
Going home soon
To see (their) families
But the winds are blowing
And the weather is poor
We’ll stay for the night
On this hellish lee shore

(All) throughout the night
The waves crashed and rolled
The crew could not sleep
Feared for their souls
Each man’s prayers,
For the morning’s first light
That (perhaps) a new dawn
Could see them right

Nothing was better
As the grey morning broke
All Hell came loose
At the snap of the rope
The tide pushed the ship
Up into the sand
It started to break up
And so it began…

“Oh Captain my Captain,
We’re starting to sink,
The hull has been breached,
We’re listing into the drink,

Oh Captain, my Captain,
What the hell do we do?
Will I ever get home,
To my dear love true?”

All souls lost,

(The) bodies were left
On un-consecrated ground
For time unending
Starting to rot,
No coffin, no shroud
No dignity, no care at all
Where is compassion?
Where is sympathy?
No love lost
For an unknown man
Rest in peace
The crew of the Anson

All souls lost to a man
