The boy I was got lost at sea
The waves of life crashed over me
One day basking on dry land
The next washed up on shifting sand
One night singing soft and low
The next caught in the undertow
The boy I was loved rhymes and reasons
Fresh sea air and passing seasons
Dreamed of being worlds away
Knew the words, not what to say
Felt the passions of love and life
Lost his girl but found a wife
