Overboard
You bob up and down
In the vast blue sea
Standard and alone
Chilled to the bone
Can’t feel your legs
Finger all numb
As you pray to god for someone to come
Too painful to cry
No energy to shout
Pretty clear time is running out
Thinking of your family
All of your friends
life slowly coming to a bitter end
with no fight left and nowhere to go
stuck in the tide tossing to and throw
the mistress has been kind to you this day
pushing you close to a sandy bay
a fishing man spots you pulls you to the Shaw
holds you in his arms wipes the sand from your face
you truly won’t forget this wonderful place
