A Whale of a Tale

I'm holding a lamp, but the flame is out.
Not a drop of oil remains as I stumble about.
I need a light to show me the way.

There's a spout in the water swimming along.
It's playfully singing a seasonal song.
All I want is oil for my lamp, I‘m afraid of the dark.

I looked around over an empty sea.
It's so quiet, when no one is looking back at me.
I have my oil and my lamp is relit.

My lamp shines brightly now with a happy flame.
I can see my path clearly, but it's not the same.
If only I wasn't walking alone.

I'm afraid of being alone.
