There once was a man of the sea
A merchant sailor for the Sovia family
He made his coin and made his life
From port to port and ship to ship
He came to a port he'd never been
A lavish chateau he could 'ere afford
But there he saw the most beautiful thing
A rare o' rare, ruby of the sea
And it was a dream
He let himself dream
Spent e'very copper just to be seen
He gave his all for another kiss
And his heart he lost
To that ruby of the sea
But woe oh woe came the terrible thought
This vibrant creature was too lofty for him
So he sailed away to a place unknown
To return someday, worthy of her love
So the ruby of the sea watched her lover sail
And she wept alone as he disappeared
His ship attacked and his freedom lost
A child he left behind, he'd never know
And it was a dream
He let himself dream
Spent e'very copper just to be seen
He gave his all for another kiss
And his heart he lost
To that ruby of the sea
Now many years passed since he got away
Experience and fortune and a bounty to his name
In attempts to be worthy the deeper he fell
So his old name he left and the gentleman became
And it was a dream
He let himself dream
Spent e'very copper just to be seen
He gave his all for another kiss
And his heart he lost
To that ruby of the sea
It was a dream, such a beautiful dream
Now a distant protector, longing within
