We
sailed out on that summer’s day
Just
me you and Kerrie Ann,
Out
to the islands in the bay
To
where we knew the dolphins ran.
And
as the wind blew from the west
For
me and you and Kerrie Ann,
It
gave each wave a silver crest
And
billowed sails with natures fan.
We
stopped and anchored out at sea
Did
me and you and Kerrie Ann,
The
day was peaceful as could be
Most
tranquil backdrop for our plan.
But
as we watched the dolphins play
For
me and you and Kerrie Ann,
We
never saw the sky turn grey
Or
noticed how those currents ran.
You
never made the slightest sound
Just
slipped from me and Kerrie Ann,
And
now you never will be found
Out
in the bay where dolphins ran.
Now
every summer’s day I sit
Down
by the quay with Kerrie Ann,
Though
all her timbers rot and pit
And
all her sails are torn and wan.
