Hairsbreadth

Mad, magnetic, mysterious pull
Keeps me spinning in your whirlpool
To be near the seven seas I`d cross, but
My compass in the sea I`ve tossed

For a moment of life I dance with death 
I come close to it - within a hairsbreadth 
Let life wake me or let death take me 
For I`m permanently lost at your sea
