The Sea

Long time since the taste of water
Dry is my tongue
Long time since the wind has blown up
To rattle my lungs
Salt crust think I’m turning to rust
The end has begun
And she is leading me
Can’t you see that she is speeding me
First time that I smelt seawater
The sails I have flung
First time felt the wind
Sails torn up
To rigging we clung
A strong gust fed my wanderlust
My journey begun
And she is needing me
Can’t you see that she is bleeding me
Can’t you see the sea
Gonna take my life but come what may
Know I won’t be here by the break of day
Life times she has taken
Slaughtered
With her serpent’s tongue
All drink from her cup of poison
The hearts she has strung
They come lovers burning with lust
All have been stung
And she is speeding me
Can’t you see that she is needing me
Can’t you see that she is bleeding me
Can’t you see that she’s misleading me
Can’t you see the sea
