Half a lifetime from the golden years and the tides keep rolling in. And in the mighty waves I hear their spirit calling me again. Shaking sails and cetecean and the tales of yore unfold. In the mystery wind my anchient friends keep calling out to my soul. Mr brothers deep keep calling my soul I hear them call when the sloop keel rolls. Over the top I watch them blow my brothers deep keep calling my soul. The big wheel kicks and the main sails grow and my brothers deep keep calling my soul. The windsongs play and the sheets fill up and the brine is in my eyes. I'm climbing up with a soaring rush the waves as high as the sky. Cross the watery dawn the sun smiles in and the blue-gray turns to gold and my brothers deep and the restless wind keep calling out to my soul. Well I knew all along that we were one because the sea always meets the sky. The wheelhouse rocks on the morning run now we're rolling side by side. Over the top there's an old wild song the ancient love songs of old. When the trick is done and the run moves on they keep calling out to my soul. My brothers deep keep calling my soul I hear them call when the sloop keel rolls Over the top I watch them blow my brothers deep keep calling my soul. The big wheel kicks and the main sails grow and my brothers deep keep calling my soul. |

Wow! I really like the way this reads, so smooth, and the sea so moody and the whale is such a grand romantic creature to write of. Really enjoyed! |
