Drowning (not waving)
uploaded: Mon, Jan 25, 2010 @ 1:58 PM
About 18 months ago I was surfing at a place on the NSW South Coast aptly named “The Boneyard”.
The swell was big and stormy with rouge waves around the 15 ft mark. The reef is basalt with sea urchins and a deep water channel running behind it with a kelp forest. I took off on “the wave of the day” which was going just fine but as I lined up the barrel (the only way out) The wave jacked and the bottom dropped from beneath me with only a foot of water covering the reef. The next thing I knew, I was being pounded along the bottom and my legrope had wrapped around my neck. For what seemed like ages (probably no longer than 1 minute) I was held down and worked over the back of the reef and through the kelp. It was completely dark and I had no idea which way was up. It all happened very slowly like a dream. The pain was tremendous. Fortunately for me, I suddenly popped up in the channel with my leggie still around my neck. A couple of local boys were laughing their heads off. I swam in to the beach and sat on the sand for about an hour recovering and counting my blessings. Any way thats the background, Many thanks to Per for this instrumental, Sub’s mate for the guitar, Sassy for the choral padlike vocal and Anchor for explaining why I paddled back out again an hour later. Death is a rather calm place compared to life - but I suspect its rather dull and boring. Here’s the words; I would be lost without you would go insane pay any cost just to hear you call my name In ocean tossed your a lifeboat in my sea pain my message lost from broken bottle washed overboard in driving rain I feel your touch as I’m drowning though the thought remains guess life is such while I’m floating in this sea of pain Through waves that crush sun is burning on my blistered face I know that much that I’m sinking in the earth’s embrace Drowning Drowning Drowning Drowning I’m Drowning I’m Drowning I’m Drowning Floating dreaming coming back to you I’m aching numbness calling out to you waiting hoping surface once again! I’m saying I’ll be staying that I can live and breathe again {anchor} You found a Neptune’s shell and on that horn played but things are quiet now; only some mocking gulls remain and all your sea refrains, dissolve into a mist Now but lapping waves and thin pink clouds How is the sea for me? Its a huge unending dream a vista of immense and hungry and impenetrability and without regret… I enter I enter
