Oh the way theyll never know A wife is left with a child Ill never hold I fear my end will be One of the many tales untold The sky is dark no stars in sight There is no way to guide us Through this night A thousand miles from the coast Dead reckoning weve lost all hope As the waves crash over on the bow I listen as the wind begins to howl I hear the sirens singing out A luring sound with no one in sight
They are Too close to my ear tonight This is my last mayday call This shining ocean tells it all A reflection of what I will be In the Water Half the deck has gone under Every possession I have is thrown As I begin to pray But not for this day The ship is lost its going down The crew has gone no ones around What else can I do I grab the wheel and think of you
