Zywa Doldrums

I wait for wind, the skippers wave at me
but I am just as ready for the sea
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
I'm lying in the harbour, lying on the quay
just bobbing in the harbour, this and every day
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
My plans are stored away, are stored away
provisions for tomorrow, for another day
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
I'm staring at the sails, I stare and keep staring
at easy ins and outs, the moving, moving
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
Those sails are tight and bulging, not a rip or tear
while nothing happened here, no, nothing happens here
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
I watch the skippers sailing out, they roam and roam
but I don't catch the wind, and stay at home, at home
     There is no wind anymore
     not a breath of wind anywhere
There is no wind anymore
not a breath of wind anywhere
