At Sea (scene 1 of 6)


Chase it down with sleeping potion
So far out now, drinking oceans
Should be stopped, but can't resist the taste
Be it real or fake
The sun rises still
Chase it down with deep devotion
The passing clouds are keeping motion
Not a drop that can be left to waste
With body braced
The tongue tries to heal
Facing down with lips of leather
This elixir lasts forever
Will you remember that reflecting face
That is wrecked with waves
When your stomach is filled? 
Chase it down with thirst unbounded 
The worst is over now, you're surrounded
Not a frown or cheap emotion
You're sleepy, deeply in the potion
Where will you go from where you're drifting away?
Where there's glistening lakes?..
Chase and chase, you're drinking easy
Rest in place, you're safe at sea
You'll soon be dreaming....
