Storm:
how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head
if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light
and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright
I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface
if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light
and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright
Dark Hole Again:
[...]
Caught in this rip tide again.
My mouth wide open,
the sea pouring in.
Perhaps I'll just float here
and see where this journey ends.
Until someone gives me a reason
to stay clear of those rip tides again.
(Cowboy Junkies)
The Dream:
I had this dream
In which I swam with dolphins
In open sea a transparent blue
(Maybe you dreamt it too)
And on the earth
The trees grew heavy with blossoms
The rainforests had not died
And the Amazon shined like an emerald

Mariner's Song:
The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
The last of man's great unchained beasts lies lapping at my door
I would give it what it wants, but I do know,
it would just ask for more
I search for you with every crest I ride
in every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
I didn't mean to leave you,
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
I didn't mean to leave you, darling,
I unfurled my sail and the wind did blow
Why why why why why, oh why I did not drop my anchor,
Oh Lord, I will never know
I search for you with every crest I ride
in every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
On the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
On the lee of the island I hear your voice deep inside the calm
Whispering baby, I'll be your delight, if you promise
to be my red sky tonight
I search for you with every crest I ride
in every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
In the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my storm
In the storm you are my destination, in the port you are my storm
But I would weather you my love, if you would be my guide,
if you would be my stars in the sky tonight
I search for you with every crest I ride
in every trough I travel through
I search for you in every trough I travel through
(Michael Timmins)
Coast of Peru/Whalers:
Come all ye old whalers who rounded the horn,
Come all ye brave sailors who've weathered the storm,
The Captain has told us, and we hope he says true,
There's plenty of whaling off the Coast of Peru.
It was early in the morning, just as the sun rose,
The man in the full mast, he yells 'there she blows'.
'Where away?', cries the Captain,
Where away does she lay?',
Three points to the eastward, and not a mile away
(Traditional)
