Doldrums

Sail through August moons
Sail through the doldrums as
Idle as a painted ship
On a painted sea
Destined to wander aimless
Whisper my songs to
Those who run from me
They see the burden I've
Carried for the world to see

This love I give for free
I sit and weep as my lover
Tries to sell it back to me
And I won't decline
'Cuz when you're done with it
I don't recognize it as mine
