The Sea Can you hear the waves outside? Hear them lapping on the hull? Do you feel the gentle tug as the ship strains at the chain? Have you known the little moments that come from on the sea when time is running out to sail? When soon you know the anchor chain will rattle in the hawspipe and the boats'n shrill commands to all the hands. Can you hear their feet a'scurrying up the ratlines to the spars, and the flapping as the buxom sails unfurl? Does you mind go wandering to the places far away where mysteries lie forever waiting there? And the sirens on the rocks plead with songs into your ears just to have you come and stay a while. Do you know what true love is for a mistress so divine; so tantalizing and sincere? Of one whose beauty goes far beyond compare with anything else in all the world? Then come away with me and we will follow all the tides and forever sail upon the lovely sea. Davey Lee George
