After hours on the ocean
Our little sailboat is slowing
The subtle waves are losing life
I guess it’s time we got to rowing
The stars beneath us are withdrawing
The fish around us, packing in
Nothing but the sounds of settling
And ripples where our boat had been
So after all these quiet evenings
Of laughter spilling on the docks
You up and leave me like the waves had done
And leave love upon the rocks
