Relationship-wrecked at sea
lost
into your eyes
into your ease
i was then a boy
without a row
lost at sea

and i
braved the storm
capturing
the great big blue
into your eyes
lost at sea

winds
they break my sails
anchors free'd
overboard
a captains swim
blame mutiny
winds
a doldrum rejoices
broken mast
a wreck of ships
lost at sea
free at last

first things first
an island sound
a makeshift bed to sleep
harbor instinct
given salts onto my scabs
bring the leech

we can land our lives
at winds repentant
dual; our needs
but man is thrift
exploration a must
'n call it dignity

winds
they drift me out
forward off the beach
overboard
time paced along
the coastal reef
winds
a pickup sail
so lovingly
a relationship
ive sought henceforth
lost at sea

lost
into your eyes
into your ease
you were there my girl
foreign land
walking destiny

and i
braving the storm
believing
the great big blue
into spent time
fearless me

winds
they take me along
out of reach
overboard
id walked the plank
fearing thee
winds
kissed my hand
salvaged me
makeshift ships
kisses ocean promise
parroting
