"The Calm Before the Storm"
An old man of sixty-three,
You lost your wife young,
Now you have only old Jack,
Your fifteen year old black lab.
You look out at the Long Island sound,
The waves lap up against the shore.
You know it's time,
Time to take the old girl out,
Adventure has inched it's way into your blood,
Slowly taking over.
You look around at the cabin,
You have your lines,
You've got a gun.
Jack is sitting patiently waiting.
It's time to go out to sea,
To see the waters,
And feel the breeze.
The sea will be your grave today,
You can feel it in your bones.
It's calm right now,
But you know,
The calm comes before the storm
