On a bench, on the beach
Just before the sun had gone
I tried to reach you

Plain faced and falling fast
You looked so vacant like an empty shell
Whose life had passed upon the ocean


Before light shook the sky
Down by the docks I saw

The masts unfolding
Don't turn away, please understand
It's a life and a living

And a way to keep the wolves away
From hungry hands, from hungry hands


Crazy water
Takes my fishing boat on Monday morning
Dangerous dreaming

If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing
Oh we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water


Tangled lives, lonely wives
Shoreline widows pray
For the souls of missing whalers

Endless nights on an endless sea
Where nothing lives between us
Just the breakers on the ocean

Separating you and me
Separating you and me
