SOS

We've come unmoored

Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore

But we feel safe inside

Not a wave in sight

Hang on tight

The water's fine

Rock the boat

We've come unmoored

Slipped the cleat, lost at sea

Crack in the centerboard

But we feel safe for now

As long as time allows

Hang on tight

Rushes by too fast

And never seems to last

Hanging ten

Waiting here before the mast

Ship of fools

We've come unmoored

Rip tide pulling, pulling away from the shore

But we feel safe inside

Not a wave in sight

Hang on tight

There's still time

The water's fine.
