I was hanging on by a thread,
My heart pounding all night,
I felt the thunder rage across the seas,
But you, you were my Kryptonite,
The storms swirled above us,
The rain pouring down on our heads,
I saw boats tumble in it's wake,
But you, you held me up instead,
Our boat rocked back and forth,
The waves crashing against the stern,
I heard the mast break in two,
But you, you kept the flickering flame burn,
The boat rolled against the coast,
There were bodies stretching for miles,
Up and down I saw the red run free,
But you, you put together the tiles,
My thoughts hopeless,
Life itself seemed bleak,
The blood ran through my fingers,
But you, you were all I seek,
The search party disbanded,
The lost hope was found once again,
A smile stole a part of my mouth away,
But you, you kept me sane.
