Bring Me Ashore

This boat is all I ever wanted
One vessel, one man
Traversing gullible waters
Owing nothing to our land

I leave the early dew behind me
I almost see you by the door
But this wooden desperado
Won’t bring me ashore

This seabed taught me about fear
So dim and endless neath the light
Lonely hours preach of healing
They guide me safely thru the night

I sing a song to keep us tethered
If only in my mind once more
But you see this aimless troubadour
Won’t bring me ashore
