Sail Away

Sometimes I wish I could sail away but alas I have bills to pay so here I slowly decay
But I can still dream of that far off shore when in my youth I did explore
The siren’s song beckons me on 
I steer my night course until the morning dawn 
Only to hear the sprinklers cut on.
So here I be stuck in reality
Wishing for what can never be
