Whalesong

To be adrift

Vast of the sea

Presence of unknown

From far beneath

Drifting away

Life's debouching from me

Drifting away

This piece of wood

My hope and my grave

Hello stars

Now I know you well

Lead me somewhere else

Hello stars

It's lonely when you're gone

Seems I'm not getting home

Salt covers my eyes my lips

Barely I can see you

Barely I can speak

But if I could I'd ask

Why oh why are you

Friend to me

Drifting away

Life's debouching from me

Drifting away
