Midnight Ocean
Midnight Ocean: A Tale of Lost Hope at Sea
Lyrics
I'm on the midnight ocean
I am currently navigating the ocean at midnight.
Trawling for my pay
I am fishing to earn my livelihood.
Nine miles from shore I leave my
Nine miles away from the shore, I leave my emotions behind on land.
Emotions on the land
My emotional connection stays on the land while I face the challenges of the sea.
We sweep the wild ocean
We navigate the untamed ocean.
With the rugged men so brave
I am accompanied by courageous and rugged men.
The boat it's timber creaks
The boat, named Rebecca, has its timber creaking.
Rebecca is her name
The boat's name is Rebecca.
The stars they're not out tonight
There are no stars visible in the night sky.
The stars they're not out
The absence of stars in the night sky is reiterated.
The diesel engine humming
The diesel engine is humming, and waves crash against the bow.
Crashing waves on the bow
The sea's turbulence causes me to stumble, and the boat, Rebecca, tilts to the side.
I stumbled as the sea put
I lose balance as the sea affects the position of the boat.
Rebecca on her side
Rebecca is thrown to the midnight ocean, and I am left behind.
Thrown to the midnight ocean
I find myself in the midnight ocean after the boat incident.
And left behind
I am abandoned and left behind.
My cries for help were lost
My calls for help go unheard or unheeded.
Who will save me now
I am left wondering who will rescue me in this dire situation.
The stars they're not out tonight
The night sky remains starless.
The stars they're not out
The lack of stars is reiterated for emphasis.
I'm on the midnight ocean
Once again, I find myself on the midnight ocean.
Black wind it swirls around
A cold, black wind swirls around me.
Rebecca she's without me
Rebecca is now without me, emphasizing my isolation.
I know my time is now
I am aware that my time may be running out.
I'm on the midnight ocean
Once again, I am on the midnight ocean.
Black wind it swirls around
The ominous black wind continues to swirl around me.
I know my time is now
I acknowledge that my time may be running out.
I'm on the midnight ocean
Reiteration of being on the midnight ocean.
I'm on the midnight ocean
-I'm on the midnight ocean
-I'm on the midnight ocean
