Sailor No More

I went out a' sailing on a cloudy summer's day, They said storms were coming but I went out anyway. Lightening struck, winds came up, was like nothing seen before; I was sure it was there, but I could not see the shore. Masts were broken like twigs, I was tossed into the sea; Swimming now for my life I felt darkness surround me. The next thing that I dreamt there was sand within my reach; Guess I knew there and then that I'd wake up on the beach. Learned my lesson back then and I've since seen nothing worse; Lucky to have lived through one of Mother Nature's curse. These days I keep to land for I'm no longer a fool; If I'm to catch some waves it's done in my wading pool.
