My name is Donald Crowhurst
I'm alive and well
I lost radio signal in Pacific swells
I've seen 30-foot waves, a blue whale
I saw the end of the world open up its cells
Got lost in the summer of '69
I led you all to believe that I was doing fine
This isn't the way I wanted it to end
I went to see the globe in gold vivid reds
♪
What have I got myself into?
Why did it turn out this way?
I hedged my bets on something bigger
To climb the Everest of waves
I knew exactly what I wanted to find
And I fear I've been deceived
It wasn't in the plan to lie to you all
But become the first king of the sea

I might have lost count
But 243 days I've found
That I've been aimlessly drifting apart
From where should I be and where did I start?
And why did this end? How is this real?
Why is this happening to me?
I didn't get your RSVP
When I crowned myself the first king of the sea
My name is Donald Crowhurst
This might be it
I never even left the Atlantic
I've been lying for months
I've been struggling to cope
I saw the end of the world
And I think I broke
