In 1960 a ship left a harbour. A Little later it disappeared in a Seamist & was listed as 'lost'. Forty-seven years later the ship is spotted re-appearing from a Seamist. When she is boarded, no-one is found to be aboard. Apart from the waves lapping against the side of the ship, there is complete silence. When the boarders get into the crews quarters a radio is heard playing this song (wishful thinking). Featuring Jeff Norman on 2nd Guitar. Thanks Jeff.
