Sailor's Lot

sailor's lot

Voyage out over sea and shine
excitement enchantment
Next Port of Where

Anchor down
swinging through town

faces of different color
faces of different cheer

No time for anything real
Anchor's rising
Orange fiery ball
setting behind the salty trail

Next Port of Where
wares of different pattern
goods of a bitter dry range
always new faces to soak in

Anchor time again
Rises and drops faster than the sun

drown in a bottle
no time for thought
smiles and cheer
thoughts only last a few grains of sand

Anchor down
faces of differnt feeling
faces of a different fear

Next Port of where
different faces with traces from before
faces mixed - mixed from yesterday's Port

Sun sets different
Sailor feels an old warmth
No bottle can drown this one

Next Port of where
different faces
but longing a familiar one

Sailor's thoughts rise
crashing on a new foot printed shorline
a thousand faces retrun
Sailor needs

Salior's time passes
Yes, much time has passed.

Sailor's home of sea
drowns his very being
Nowhere to go but next port of where
