My name is Donald Crowhurst
I am 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 sails
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 and vivid red

What have I got myself into?
Why did it turn out this way?
I hitched 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

My name is Donald Crowhurst

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 and vivid red

I might have lost count
But 243 days have felt
And I've been aimlessly drifting apart
From where should I be and where did I start
And why did this end and how is this real
And why did is this happening to me
I didn't get an 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

I 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 and vivid reds
