In the middle of the ocean
Raise the topsail high
But there is no wind blowing
I cried a bitter cry

There was a sense of urgency
Back when it all began
And the sails were filled with hopes and dreams
And the boastful pride of man

Something along the voyage
I cant remember what
There was somebody good that I loved
And someone evil I fought

I fought him with a passion
Like a pirate on the sea
I cant remember who I killed
It may have been me

In the middle of the ocean
Can you tell me please the time
I was on my way to a charity ball
To benefit all mankind

I had a list of things to do
When we finally got to shore
I had a list of things to say
When they gave me my award


Close your eyes children Close your eyes
Gentle waters rock you through the night
Who will see you as you sleep
Who will keep you from the perils of the deep

Close your eyes children Close your eyes
Stars above you shining brightly in the sky
A gentle breeze is blowing you sail along
lanterns are glowing and you hear the children's song

They sing the firmament They.sing the sea
a song so innocent upon the nighttime breeze
Close your eyes Close your eyes
Gentle waters rock you through the night

Karl, this is absolutely my favorite song of yours. Carnival's another one, but I am so memerized by that line, "I can't remember who I killed, it could have been me." That falls under "lines I wish I had written." That line says so much about self awareness to me. The production on this is amazing too. I visit this song often, and I thought I'd leave a comment this time. :) Janet

@onewomanandsomesongs Hey Janet, That's great feedback, thanks. You know, songs are like dreams, they're not real - but there's always something in real life that inspires them. But I'm trying to get through life with never having killed anyone - especially myself :-) Hey, you take care good friend - Karl
