THE WRECK OF YOU AND ME
By Devon Copley

A desert island on the sea
No interruption of my reverie
And you see, I sit alone and watch the waves
Can’t admit that I’d be saved
The situation calls for bravery

Never built a signal fire
I watch your airplane circle higher and higher and I
Imagine you up there
Twirling in the air
And looking down from on your lofty perch
You’re calling off the search

The tide, receding, revealing the shattered vessel
It’s a miracle anyone survived
The wreck of you and me

No sudden storm split us in two
No siren’s song enchanted the fearless crew
But we knew, since the day that we set sail
When we worked in shifts at bailing out the inundated engine room
The tiny ship was doomed

The tide, receding, revealing the shattered vessel
It’s a miracle anyone survived
The wreck of you and me

It was a sunny day and a glassy sea
I didn’t see the wave till it came crashing over me
And bore you on a swell
As you waved farewell…

I guess I think about you less
But I still fiddle with the useless wireless
I confess
I’m living for your call
Hoping you’ve forgiven all the tragic voyages I put you through
And I watch for you
But all I see is blue on blue
