One daybreak the dignified grey lady set sail
Proud and with many promised tomorrows of hope.
The water was mirror quiet of calmness
While the fresh breeze tickles her hair.
The sunset for the last time for the lady
as the night gleams with cold hopes.
The clouds crowded around the horizon
filled with furious howling winds.
Unaware of danger lifting it's hand.
They slept in the warmth of the lady.
The storm begins curling her up in fear.
The waves are furiously bigger with each breath.
From no where a penetrating cracking sound
tear through her feminine body.
Fear and horror cries filled the dark.
Then she disappeared into her deep dark grave.
Today she's still wandering the seabed
With emptiness and horror I'm longing for her.
I was also one time part of the lady
and now the lovely graceful lady will never return.
