[Intro]

Verse 1

Twenty-two ninety-eight, the first jump cut the night,

Eamon’s four ships on their long, lonely flight.

He told the Ten he’d name the stars the old way,

He carved seven lines from the cold endless gray.

Chorus

Seven lines, boys, seven lines,

Seven trees he gave the sky.

Eight was waiting, cold n’ blind,

When old Capt Eamon died.

Verse 2

He named her Beith where the first light shone.

Luis for the love he’d always known.

Fearn Sail Nion n’ Dair followed true,

The eighth one, Tinne, he never knew.

Chorus

Seven lines, boys, seven lines,

Seven trees he gave the sky.

Eight was waiting, cold n’ blind,

When old Capt Eamon died.

Verse 3

Free hauler crews still sing Eamon’s name,

When the jumps feel old and always the same.

Out on the rim where the edge beacons glow,

You can hear him still whisper… one more to go.

Chorus

Seven lines, boys, seven lines,

Seven trees he gave the sky.

Eight was waiting, cold n’ blind,

When old Capt Eamon died.
