Shipwrecked Sadness

I love the melancholic feel of this shot but I really hate seeing any boat in this condition. This old clinker build boat has been left in a basin on our river just rotting away, a forgotten relic of a bygone age, an age when boats were built by craftsmen and were built in traditional ways to age old designs,simple but beautiful.

Despite my sadness at the subject I love the lines and textures, especially how the water in the lea of the hulk is calm, every time I walk here I hear this lyric in my mind, a beautiful song fro a very underrated album...

I'm a million miles from anywhere, where can I be
Somewhere out on the ocean
Just take a look out on the horizon, what can you see
There's nothing there for me

I feel shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me

Even standing on the corner of a busy city street
I still feel so lonely
Why do you say you want to be with me
But the next day say you don't

I'm shipwrecked, I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
Without you I feel shipwrecked
But I can't let it show
A million miles away from anywhere

Is it my imagination
Or is it getting darker, are the waves getting higher
I'm a million miles from anywhere
A million miles from anything I know

You know that's why I'm shipwrecked
I might as well be shipwrecked
I'm helpless and alone drifting out to sea
I can't believe what you said to me
You know that's why I'm shipwrecked, shipwrecked
Losing my direction

Please come and rescue me
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked
Shipwrecked...
