The Spinning Shank

From stem to stern
This ship sails across the ocean
It’s helm turns it’s rudder
Always in your direction

Both lost in this bottle, out at sea
I send this message to you 
Hoping it will find you
Below in our cabin

I lay with you
Turning on your lighthouse light
Spinning it around and around
As the water flows above

Through the cabin porthole 
I hear a yell from up above
Land ahoy it’s loud and clear
The anchor is placed deep into the sea

This storm of thunder
With Lighting flashing I gaze down upon you
The last sound that is heard
You whispering into my ear

I love you
