| My life seemed so perfect then as if the first of my life were just a bad dream nothing could go wrong from here - I thought life was perfect, it seemed As usual, life turned on me again I waws supposed to take my family to a carnival, of sorts instead, I insisted on sharking so early, I sailed from port I sailed away, quite a bit further than I had originally intended to go It got dark, I got drunk and the wind began to blow I fell overboard, in the dark stumbling, I hit my head into the cold and stormy waters I really should have been dead |
| I floated fro days in and out of consciousness I swirled and tossed on the foam I somehow washed up on a beach saved from my place in the old seamans home The next thing I knew I was being cared for by the loveliest creature I'd ever seen she had eyes that were dark and hair that was soft she was young, svelt and lean Although I didnt know at the time who or even where I was I was still a man, with natural desires I'd quickly fallen in love On a hot, sultry moonlit night I took her into my arms I wanted to make love to her her voice whispered, her body trembled but the act did not occur |
| I had remembered my sweet Elena my son and my baby girl, too I jumped up and ran, away from the temptation as she called after me, "Blue!" I've had several lovers besides my wife and though I do regret most none will ever remain in my heart like my lovely island host Ive watched my sweet children grow Ive watched the time fly by Ive fought my finned demons, sailed the salt waters Ive floated through life like the air on a sigh Now, tomorrow, I will go out to fight the grandaddy of them all it started with blood in the water and when my friend the chief called |
| "We have a shark problem", he said "A big one and we need you to assist" I strained and I groaned, my poor aching bones I may not make it through this So tonight, I set, while my dear wife sleeps and reflect on the days of my life Dear Lord, let me make it, for I cant shake this feeling its the end of my life I'll drink to hide the worry I'll straighten my back and walk straight I have to prove to those who are depending on me to guide thier fate dear God, in Heaven, I am asking of you for my children and my sweet wife let me come home, turn that shark into chum and not let my family suffer from my sorry life. |
