The Sailor's Wife

	The Sailor’s Wife, alone one night
	In slumber as she bathes
	She dreams of ships her sailor’s lip
	Against the ocean waves
	The sailor’s wife was pale and white
	Beauty near divine
	‘Oh how the sea has stolen thee’
	She drinks, she waits, she cries
	Life is but a dream
	The sailor knows that waves will grow
	When all is not content
	The sky grows dark, a lightening spark
	A message must be sent
	He shouts down to the sorry crew
	‘The sky’s no longer blue
	A storm is come to claim someone
	So pray it is not you’
	Life is but a dream
	The sailor’s wife had bare a life
	Before she slipped and fell
	Her back was broke, and as she soaks
	She cannot cry for help
	The sailor clings to ropes and things
	He won’t survive for long
	Then crashing down upon his crown
	A final, parting song
	Both of them sinking as death pulls the plug
	One in the ocean and one in the tub
	The water’s running
	The storm is coming
	The sailor is drowning, drowning
	Life is but a dream
