Song of the sea

The song of the sea

Sounds wild and free

‘Come along now and sail with me’

That is the message of her turbulent song,

During day and all night long.

Sometimes high and sometimes low

Never ending, she won’t let go

Listening ears on the shore

Are getting spelled and they adore

The sound of the waves

Rocking the coast

And want to set sail

That’s what they want most

So there the young man

from who the ears are

Is getting real restless

Seeks comfort in a bar

But this place is no way out of this tickling feeling

A sailing ship could give him is needful healing

The day he first sets sail was the happiest in his life

He realizes when he looks at his wife

Twenty years after he first sailed away

And ten years after his wedding day

No sailing around, no sailing no more

Just another day he heard that old song

Again

The song of the sea

Calling on him 'Come along with me'

His ears listened to it, eyes gathering tears

Couldn’t get out there,

And now all he hears

Is the song of the sea,

Still wild now and still free...
