Skies swirle
Grey beckons
no
Swirl of your skirts
no-one deserves
No
I wont try for you
Hooked like a fish for gutting
Yes you pick your big man

I'll go to sea to pick the fish
You will gut
Watching the water swill over boots
Tells you the sea takes it's gifts
Returning empty hopes
To those who need them

No one fighting for his life
Remembers more than a fifty foot high sea
Prayers
What are you praying for
The Rest in port of Mariners

A woman lost her man
That might take you
if you can catch
Who cares for you
On those dark nights
When you know your end
And going home

Who cares for you

But the next ship
The next wave

Thanks Grover

I actually though it was one of the best I had written

Such is life
