Deep Water

Maddy Prior

I've been in a long day dream
Of scheme and fantasy
My thoughts come back in words
To mock me
My flimsy boat I've set a sailing
On dark and stormy seas
Midst tempest wailing
But while I've been away
My friend I have forgotten
I have not thought of him
Nor letter written
My vessels overflowes
With leaks sprung in its side
And here I'm left a-drifting
Lonely in the tide
But I must head for harbour
To put my ship in order
And see my friend again
Across the water

For it's just been a long day dream
