lyrics

Quelch smokes his pipe and stares thoughtfully into the fire, far away in his mind, while Peter gazes out the window at the storm-tossed sea. Eager to prove himself a man, he declares to his mother he will follow the journey of his father, to share his adventures, and understand for himself the man, his father, Jesiah King.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peter:
I have decided tomorrow will be
The day that I see what my father would see
Had he come home would he sail out with me
Back to the arms of the Empress of the Sea

I have decided tomorrow will be
The day that I see what my father would see
Had he come home would he sail out with me
Back to the arms of the Empress of the Sea

Tonight I’ll dream, a Monkey King is chasing after me….
Lost his game to me.

I have decided today, mother said,
“Don’t be silly, go up to your room”
Maybe it seems a little silly to you
Maybe it seems that I have frightened you
Mother don’t cry, I’ll be back with the bloom of the
Moonlight….

Tonight I’ll dream, a pirate ship is chasing after me….
Father can you hear me?

Can you hear me, a storm has passed (Can you hear me)
Tomorrow will be, here at last (Always with me)
I have decided tomorrow will be (Can you hear me)
The day that I see what my father would see (Always with me)
Had he come home would he sail out with me (Can you hear me)
Back to the arms of the Empress of the Sea (Always with me)

Michelle Cross Chicago, Illinois

Michelle is a musician and artist based in Chicago. Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross’s songs tend to have a darker, moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention. ... more
