Off old docks
With broken timbers

Under a silver moon
Whose soft white light
Sparkles on inland seas

They stow their gear
As through the air
Ship bells ring
In silent harbors

And if I listen
Very carefully

Outbound
For adventure

I can hear them
Call my name

Very endearing atmosphere ... ship bells are something I have memorized too in my childhood (even if only on the lake of Zurich), I love the sound! It does create an association with adventure indeed.

Love this very much.

I love the water too.  The vastness of water is much deeper then the "grass is greener", but instead leaves me with going because its there.
