Adrift

Though I tread in waters deep

I beg the Lord my soul to keep

And through the wilderness and fog

To Him, im loyal as a dog

My heart, it burns for you to feel

My warmth, my lonely sex appeal

And hope that you may one day see

Just what this pain has done to me

Open your eyes my dearest girl

And see my confused thoughts unfurl

I want your hand to touch me close

My medicine, I need another dose

I miss those times I was awake

And all the breaths I could intake

But in these waters deep and cold

I fear, my dear, I am alone

And though I know I will be found

I do not smile, I sit and frown

For I miss the nights like these we shared

And all the other times you cared

This raft I'm in's my only chance

To one day, do my happy dance

And laugh that laugh that I've forgot

With you alone, inside our cot

But as the waves rise and break

It is my silent breath it takes

I feel so sad and lost within

I do repent for all my sins

And again I beg the Lord to take

From me all thats fake

And leave within my soul whats real

So out this raft I do not bail

Time as always runs away

But here this night is never day

And on and on and on I drift

My lonely heart needs a lift 

I look into the black abyss

And see that face I want to kiss

Those lovely eyes that make me wish

Oh God, that I were a fish

That i may right now leave this raft

And swim to you and laugh my laugh

And leave the cold and dark behind

And you, my dear, finally find

But life is not so simple yet

Three chances does one rarely get

So I sit alone and loudly hum

And wait for someone to one day come

I look upwards, and see the stars

So bright, beautiful and yet so far

I look and sigh at what I miss

And close my eyes and feel the mist

The waves do rock, the raft does sway

I hope that I am washed away

But life is not so simple yet

Three chances does one rarely get
