On a bench, on the beach   Just before the sun had gone   I tried to reach you   Plain faced and falling fast   You looked so vacant like an empty shell   Whose life had passed upon the ocean      Before light shook the sky   Down by the docks I saw   The masts unfolding   Don't turn away, please understand   It's a life and a living   And a way to keep the wolves away   From hungry hands, from hungry hands      Crazy water   Takes my fishing boat on Monday morning   Dangerous dreaming   If we all believe in the things you believe you're seeing   Oh we'd never drop our nets in the crazy water, crazy water      Tangled lives, lonely wives   Shoreline widows pray   For the souls of missing whalers   Endless nights on an endless sea   Where nothing lives between us   Just the breakers on the ocean   Separating you and me   Separating you and me
