A blue sky and miles of sea,
Blue, endless sea.
A blue sky and miles of sea,
Stretching to the horizon, forever.

Blue, endless sea,
Stretching, lazy, to the horizon.
Wreckage, a floating spar,
A capsized lifeboat,
A life jacket.
Gray fins ripping the water,
gray triangles, searching.

A raft, dipping, swaying,
A man.
Sitting head in hands,
Watching, watching the horizon.
The sun, white hot, spinning.
The man watching,
a gray fin hoping.

CHORUS:
A blue sky and miles of sea,
Blue endless sea.
A blue sky and miles of sea,
Stretching to the horizon, forever.

A tiny smudge of black,
Smoke of a steamer.
The man blinks, opens his mouth,
Screaming joy.
The smoke enlarges,
The man, half-mad, dancing,
The smoke fading,
Growing smaller,
Disappearing.

CHORUS:
A blue sky and miles of sea,
Blue endless sea.
A blue sky and miles of sea,
Stretching to the horizon, forever.
