(原詩)

On a bench, on the beach
Just before the sun had gone
I tried to reach you,
Plain faced and falling fast
You looked so vacant
Like an empty shell
Whose life had passed upon the ocean
Before light shook the sky,
Down by the docks I saw
The masts unfolding
Don't turn away, please understand,
It's a life and a living
And a way to keep the wolves away
From hungry hands, from hungry hands

Crazy water takes my fishing boat
On Monday morning, dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things
You believe you're seeing
Oh, we'd never drop our nets
In the crazy water, crazy water

Tangled lives, lonely wives
Shoreline widows pray
For the souls of missing whalers
Endless nights on an endless sea
Where nothing lives between us
Just the breakers on the ocean
Separating you and me,
Ooh, separating you and me

Crazy water takes my fishing boat
On Monday morning, dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things
You believe you're seeing
Oh, we'd never drop our nets
In the crazy water, crazy water

Crazy water takes my fishing boat
On Monday morning, dangerous dreaming
If we all believe in the things
You believe you're seeing
Oh, we'd never drop our nets
In the crazy water, crazy water

Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
Crazy water
In the crazy, crazy water
In the crazy, crazy, crazy water
Crazy, crazy, crazy water
Crazy, crazy, crazy water
