From the deck
The ocean stretched
So far
So far
Our time was short
So we didn’t sleep ‘til dawn
In the sunlight
Your pupils were points of black
In a sea of pale green
Where I got lost
So long
So long
In blackest night
The sirens screamed
So loud
So loud
The whipping wind
Fed the fire ‘til dawn
In the flashing lights
The alarm’s glow
Illuminated fear
I remembered that look
So long
So long
From the shore
The ship was burnt
So dark
So dark
The sea was calm
The ash dimmed the sun
In the pale light
I found no fire in your eyes
Strangers now
And the miles between seem
So long
So long
