Valparaiso Lyrics

Cover art for Valparaiso lyrics by Sting

Yes, isn't it. Brings to mind ...

Our lovely ship—the Good Intent She sailed across the continent Her skipper’s name was Badly Bent Her purser’s name was Broke Oh leaden-helmed and tough to steer Her cargo—vain regrets and tears The path she laid was wild and queer Her compass was a joke.
