trading winds for borrowed time
sting in the eyes from salt water spray
sunshine pours over the glistening deck
as the ocean pushes against aging boards
blue horizon, white clouds
sparkling air
he searches on
he searches on
picking up
howling winds, foreboding sky
as the black clouds approach
raindrops attack the weary crew
no longer sting in the eyes
but sting in the lungs
rushing water
racing hearts
the captain sits alone
waiting to sink into oblivion
the search is over
the journey is complete
the crew continues to struggle
unaware their destination has been reached
the captain wished for death
when you marry the sea
it's till death do us part
