Reaching far with nagging tentacles
Wonder how I'm meant to express tonight
Diving deep, yet finding no pearls
Try to walk away, but I cannot
Overlook, or underplay, my love
Try to break free, but it's no good
For, strong currents are demanding
Do not know what it is I'm sensing within
Reaching far with nagging tentacles
Wonder how I'm meant to express tonight
Diving deep, yet finding no pearls
A partner, they say, perhaps could help
Oversee and protect our interests
A partner par excellence, deep in me
And yet cat catches my tongue at times
Do not know what it is I'm sensing within
Reaching far with nagging tentacles
Wonder how I'm meant to express tonight
Diving deep, yet finding no pearls
So I leave it be, this silent quest
A journey inward, a restless test
Perhaps some truths are meant to hide
Until the tides reveal, or subside
