Floating ashore
And drifting aside
Far from above
And fearful inside.

Come for me, darling,
Pleasure me kindly
For the waves down here.

Swallow the rest
Of a body so weak
And a mind so weary.

But the world doesn’t mind;
And me?

I’m floating ashore
And drifting aside
Far from above
And fearful inside.
