GOING OUT TO SEA

GOING OUT TO SEA

As I Stand on the catwalk, I can’t hear a sound

But the engines roar from Norfolk we’re outbound

The warm smooth air brushes across my face

I take it all in this unique feeling I try to embrace

The seas are calm slick and as straight as glass

The moonlight bounces off the water as we pass

Soft cirrus clouds stroke the edge of the moon

Not long from now the stars will be gone soon

Seven knots is all we can seem to make

A long time to get there is what it will surely take

Combing my hair is the soft angelic breeze

No fight tonight just lazy comfortable seas

Looking back at land I feel so at peace

To get away from all of that is such a great relief

Just the great big blue our tugboat and me

On the horizon is black as far as I can see

No phones ringing or aggravations of normal life

Just feelings of serenity cutting through me like a knife

As I look up at the sky light flickers off a cloud

It doesn’t say a word but speaks out so very loud

The air is so warm like I’m nestled safely in my bed

Any feeling of negativity seems to die and become dead

If you could only embrace to you I’d give one night

That’s all it would take for you to see high and sight

If I could show you one thing and give it to you for free

It would be a trip on a tugboat going out to sea
