The winds blew cuts into my skin
As I woke up just drifting aimless
Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink
I swim exhausted reeling streams
All past erased, a jerking nameless
Water, water everywhere and several miles to sink
Watching for ships somewhere passing
Or islands touching the edge of the sea
Moving to resist this pulling
A downward-grooving drown symphony
Water, water everywhere
The wind brought sound of men on board
A vessel sign so hopeful flickering
All around and all around, but nowhere ships to see
Waves and skies so endless, Lord
Vessel noise and voices raving
From deep down they call my name
And there I sink and sink
