Living By The Hungry Sea

Giving me nothing
Only some broken and useless shells
Some dead fishes and nasty plants,

Again, its waves always frighten me
In hungry style
With only anger, no smile.

Sailor of the sea I know the sea but it does not seem to know me High tide is fond while ebb takes our bond, crushed Rogue waves frighten, sorrow Emotional terrorist today, fair winds tomorrow I'll keep sailing and see Dad
