Sail Away to Your Sea Among the Stars

He dropped anchor at the docks of Loudoun
The sailor and his swanky Navy suit on leave
For a waltz upon the mountains of rocky top.
He saw a little lass three times so and sweet
Masquerading as his coy mistress in harmony
As she sweet talked her sailor for a magic ride
As the soul upon the stories of Arabian Nights,
The sailor fell for his jasmine upon moonlight.
No carpet will suffice amid their midnight ride
In the black sea bleeding into her bright master
As the crickets below herald upon the vessel's
Arrival at a new beginning sailing across the stars
To reach a land thither and an eternity away
From the common core of those not so fortunate
To know of the time the sailor dropped anchor
For the jasmine of his mind, his coy mistress.
