Air Marshal Landing Commander Edward Smith
When I try to swim I always sink
I will sink with you
Swindle me out of a mind that thinks
I will think like you, I will sink like you
When I define these deeds of mine
All signs point to a shipwrecked mind
If I'm a pirate you're the sea
Your waves conspire to swallow me
This loyalty will get the best of me
Put the blinders on me, I cannot see
And closing eyes bring me the nightly dreams
Where I am free to wander and believe
The goddess of the sea, lying through her teeth
Persuades your ship to move where it shouldn't be
So I'll conjure up a breeze to send it sailing back to me
