Roaring 40's

Humble me as if I were ten 
unfulfilled dreams and captains 
in a distorted reverie I made out her call 
the vastest desert of them all 

drawn, shiny calm, to your mystery 
I wanted revenge 
but so, so did she 

"I am the eldest of three sisters 
born down around the roaring forties 
I have been sent to be your mistress 
young man you're coming down with me" 

So I recited from my rut, still undecided in my gut 
how I wish, it was enough for me - the love of a family 

"we could so easily enjoy you 
and easier we could destroy you 
me and my sisters never age 
me and my sisters rage" 

ok, lord grant us a daughter of our own 
we'd name her fire, because the water is worn
