Sea Fever
BY JOHN MASEFIELD
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout They say a boat is a hole in the water to throw your money in.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I used to play my guitar and sing this when I was a kid. One of my favorite songs.

Sailing south to the tropical islands! As the weather gets warmer, the sun higher! The fewer the clothes, until I’m nude 98% of the time!
