Sailing Away

My sailing ship has left the bay
It won't be back another day.
I came to call, no one answered,
And now I must be on my way.

You are blessed with quality,
Me - an urchin of the sea,
But with dreams a-plenty,
Leaning towards mediocrity.

But I must go for fear I stumble,
Though not given to peevish mumble;
The winds of change are hailing,
And keep my thoughts so humble.

Stay safe in your mansion,
Shun all needless tension.
My eye is on the vanishing point
And tender is my horizon.

I would do anything for you
No one like you, it's true.
My heart murmurs a soft farewell,
As your memory I review.

Off to where the rum comes from,
All to the beat of my own drum.
To you, the best of halcyon days,
Me, to where aimless seas roam.
