Lost At Sea
Rory Gallagher · Against The Grain [2007]
You found me you were my saviour.
Tossed about like a coaster,
The reef was near but you came closer.
Reaching out I don't know how.
Raise the sails and leave,
And take me straight home.
I can almost see the distant shoreline.
Caught in tides friends of no-one,
Winds which lie drove me straight on.
Who knows where but I was spared.
