Night Water
It's a starry, silent, breezy night
When the cold gets chilly, it starts to bite
The boat is in rhythm with the waves
they make pictures, like seek and hide
the moon is full, high is the tide
Alls peaceful, both parents asleep
Look around, side to side, nothing but ocean so deep.
Young boy Michael, half asleep at the wheel
A big, shaggy dog curled up at the corner
He clashes with the rest, yes he looks like a foreigner
The dog's ears prick up, suddenly alert
Barked like crazy, almost lost his dessert
Michael gets up, wondering, quite curious
As he leaves the wheel, goes by the edge
Trying to get his dog to get off the ledge
A sudden lurch gives them a scare
They crash in the water, back first then their hair
The boat leaves them, with no one in charge
They're left with nothing but water,
Nothing but dark, cold, night water
