Far Away

Far away from you all, away from each,
I've soon realized there was no beach.
Adrift all alone, upon my rubber raft.
Awakened by Dolphins, who seem to laugh.

Sober to see, last night's beers at my feet.
From three in the morn', what girl did I meet?
Looking north, south, east, and west,
No land do I see, all I wear is my vest.

Far away from you all, away from each,
I giggle alone, as there's no one to reach.
Ten hours afloat, in a drunken sleep.
I tickle inside, outside I'm a creep.

Ominous "Black Cloud", I'm drifting your way.
Just step aside, we'll wrestle another day.
I see you're not listening, my craft is not calm.
Rain is stinging my face, I'm recalling a Psalm.

Don't make me suffer, "Mister Storm" of the sea.
Destiny has delivered to you, the likes of me.
How can this be. I'm awakened once more, all over again.
Damn I was dreamin', I feel sand,...my girl,...no "Stormy" pain...
