My ship sails to the far east
What tall sails she has
I look at her hull, not at her best
A name displayed for all to see, The Letaz
A new year is here
Where I will spend it with Yuhan
When I see her again, there will be many tears
Yuhan's Parents believe, I am a Don Juan
Winds are to the east, the ocean so vast
She will sail fast and appear sleek
I wonder how long I will last
I look this boat over, there is so much teak
My mind drifts back to the Providence and Yuhan
Her beautiful long black hair and deep dark eyes
A feeling I can't understand
I must avoid detection from those spies
Our ship moves quickly, sails filled with air
Yuhan and I have so much to lose
Yet so much to share
As I look up at the Captain, I ask, why is he drinking booze
My long blonde hair blows back by the wind
I just wait for the hours to pass
I told myself, will never feel pinned
For this voyage will be my last
The Captain looks down with his glass held high
His face appears to have seen battle
I am forced to think he could be a spy
I see the mainland, we will disembark like cattle
A feeling has come over me I don't like
I will not see her, the Captain's face tells me so
Water is rising and there isn't a dyke
There is nothing to stop the flow
A note is slipped in my hand by a man I do not know
I read, to learn of treachery and deceit
To my end, I have her parents to owe
I will not be there to say, you are so sweet
I have nowhere to go, the water is above my waist
The Captain cannot be seen
I am sure he jumped in haste
The note added, the sinking of his ship is routine
