This Life

Living life daily in this deep blue dream People think its adventurous, yet its not what it seems The work never ends, day in and day out The weather could be kind or toss you about A sickness can go viral, and strike the whole crew Your miles away from shore, theres nothing you can do You see the same faces, you have to make them your friends Because enemies here could meet violent ends You work as a team, putting loads in their space Then do it all over again in some other place You keep to yourself when your watch is done, Too tired to go ashore and have any fun People think we see the world with each passing trip But most of the time we see just the insides of this ship. From Port to Port , they all seem the same Dockworkers and sailors, the game stays same So if you think its all adventurous, this life at sea Its not a pleasure cruise, you take it from me.
