Deadly Dreams of Fishing
The wind is blowing upon the sea
Creating waves so high over me
As I navigate North looking to the South
In a heading away from these waves
The clouds are thick with thunder
So dark I cannot see the first mate below
Checking the engine she’s been running to slow
Ti's almost midnight this swell from hell
Keeps Rowling and ringing the dinner bell
The lighthouse his disappeared into the mouth of Satan
All I can see is my own arm in front of me
The ship rolls over these waves of terror
Bringing us above the sea then smashing us down
On the ocean waters dipping the ships bow below the sea
Fish are jumping as if it were a game blinded to mans fears
I awake from this dream the television on
The Deadliest Catch is on TV
