Strum
D-DU-UDU
A  wave came swept  me off  of the deck
 Angry sea gives  and takes  it away
 I kept  on swimming,  singing, searching  for an island  or garden  to lie  in
The  rain kept  on falling on  to my arms  and legs
 They anchored  me to slate  gray water
 The albatross around  my neck made  it
 Hard to look  up to see  the sky
 I dreamt  of the sand of  your beach  where I’d come ashore
 Wake up  a little  saddle soar  but make it home
 I was  smashed somewhere in  between
 A murky sky  and the coming  tide, the coming  tide
Everyday  the same swimming,  sinking, feeling
 We rose,  my rose  but we did  a lot of falling
 As they pulled  me from their nets, stood  on the deck
Arms  out stretched to  the horizons  where I saw  you
Sailing  over oceans frozen  in your  doorway and  me
Stumbling  down your streets  speaking
Incoherently with  the night
I  was dreaming of your white sand
unblackened  by time  and time again
 Where I  could  find some common  ground to kiss  and call my own
