Sea Again. Poem by Tom Allport

I must go down to sea again
Sunken yachtsmen, drunken Scotsmen
Every lunatic and his friend
I mustn't go down to sea again
The lovely sea and sky
With a grey dawn breaking
I must go down to sea again
It's drowning men, emotions flag
Me down again
I mustn't go down to sea again
The white sails shaking
The call of the running tide
I must go down to the sea again
The Promenade, the rain whips
I'd send a card if I had a pen
I mustn't go down to sea again
The flung spray, the seagulls crying
The wind like a whetted knife
I must go down to sea again
The bingo bar, the clumsy kiss
That ends in tears.
