The Jack I never knew

The laughter in your eyes

The sweetness in your smile

Like the morning star 

You lit up the darkness in my life

A journey to your home

I did wish it was true

But only in my dreams 

I will hide it in my heart

The night you took that trip

To sail the miles of sea

Where you said you'd wait

For me the next trip home

But that trip the sea swallowed you 

Buried you in the walls of waves

You never did emerge

The Jack I never knew left that cold July nights
