I'Ll Cast My Net No More

Pull up the anchor one last time Then thrust my oar into the foamy brine Often have I churned with arms that burned My home became a darkened speck Resting upon the horizon's deck I'll cast my net no more For the far away shore And I'll no longer dwell Within Poseidon's swell My calluses I've earned For Siren's graces I've yearned My eyes still watered and burned The oars quicken as I churned But I'll no longer cast my nets To fill with inky regrets I bid farewell to my family first A salty sea to quench my thirst Life's adventures have passed me by Now in my funerary vessel I lie And I'll cast my net no more For the far away shore
