He Struggled To The Surface - Ketil Bjørnstad

he struggled to the surface

swam clear of the coastal breakers

and then swam along outside them

he struggled to the surface

swam clear of the coastal breakers

and then swam along outside them

keeping an eye on the land

in the hope of lighting on some natural harbour

with shelving beaches

with shelving beaches

hear me lord

whoever you are

i come to you

as many others have come

with a prayer

hear me lord

whoever you are

i come to you

as many others have come

with a prayer

i am a fugitive from the sea

and from poseidon’s malice

take pity on me master

oh what will happen to me now?

what will become of me after all?
