He's been treading water
for more then three days
no support of a life jacket
so tied now, fading to a daze

What happened to bring him to this point
where have his ship mates gone
he did hear distant cries a night ago
but by morning there were none

This sleepless torture
trying to keep his head above water
he knows this is it
for he is now going down with his ship
