These tears I shed,
create the ocean,
that has become my life
I am stranded at sea,
without a life jacket,
and no rescue ship in sight
From angry shores,
to rocky cliffs,
dark waters chill my heart
Washing my sad spirit,
out to sea,
a castaway from the start.
I long to be,
a graceful bird,
on wind ward flight
Escape from these,
dark stormy seas,
until the mornings light
And rest my weary soul at last,
on distant shores tonight
