• The watchman lay there dreaming/At 45 degrees/He dream the Titantic was sinking/drumming to her knees.

• Wellington, he was sleeping/His bed began to slide/His valiant heart was beating/He pushed the tables aside.

• His men and his companions/Were nowhere to be seen/In silence there he waited for/Time and space to intervene.

• The rich man Mr. Astor/Kissed his darling wife/He had no way of knowing/May be the last trip of his life.

• Cal and Blake and Winston/Gambled in the dark/Not one of them would ever live to/Tell the tale of disembark.
