I set out one night
|
When the tide was low
|
There were signs in the sky
|
But I did not know
|
I'd be caught in the grip
|
Of the undertow
|
Ditched on a beach
|
Where the sea hates to go
|
With a child in my arms
|
And a chill in my soul
|
And my heart the shape
|
Of a begging bowl
|
|

Undertow
