I tremble not when waters clear And I see sandy bottoms of your mind. As long as at the helm I steer Charted courses of your kind It is smooth sailing, I have no fear.
But when the sun no longer shines In the depths things disappear. Lurking in the salted brine Are monsters, toothed from ear to ear.
And I, their prey, am swimming blind Enticed by your charming allure That muddles up a reasonable mind Till midday mealtime is secured. To you I’m naught more than a snack With deadly smiles to be lured Beneath the water’s velvet black.
And though I suffer, rest assured That I’ll come, sadly, swimming back.
