Deep Water - Maddy Prior

I’ve been in a long day dream

Of scheme and fantasy

My thoughts come back in words

To mock me

My flimsy boat I’ve set a sailing

On dark and stormy seas

Midst tempest wailing

But while I’ve been away

My friend I have forgotten

I have not thought of him

Nor letter written

My vessels overflowes

With leaks sprung in its side

And here I’m left a-drifting

Lonely in the tide

But I must head for harbour

To put my ship in order

And see my friend again

Across the water

For it’s just been a long day dream
