Castaways

One day as I was sailin' on the Carribean Sea

I spied a little fishin' vessel wrapped in nameless weed

Her sails were torn and tattered and her wheel was spinning free

I told myself that little boat sure looks a lot like me

As I pulled along beside her and I climbed upon her deck

In the silence I could feel the hair a risin' on my neck

I thought as I walked through the empty quarters down below

That lost abandoned vessel was the sister of my soul

'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just driftin' with the tide

Each day I'm drawin' closer to the brink

Just a speck up on the waters of an ocean deep and wide

I won't even make a ripple when I sink

In the emptiness my footsteps were like echoes in a cave

That seemed to say there ain't no healing 'neath this floating grave

When I scrabbled to the deck, my ship had vanished like a dream

Leavin' nothing but the lonely waves to hear my silent scream

'Cause like a ship without a rudder I'm just driftin' with the tide

Each day I'm drawin' closer to the brink

Just a speck up on the waters of an ocean deep and wide

I won't even make a ripple when I sink
