To the Sea You Must Go

Why does the gull take to flight? When the winds are on high Abandon shelter to face such fright With the gesture of a sigh Why does mystery defy notions? The moon and stars just shine at night? Lips to whisper deep emotions Why an embrace can feel so right How can the swallow find its way? Where none has flown before Cross limitless miles of oceans By just the cunning of its lore What gently bends the willow? In its moment of silent prayer What brings softness to a pillow? To catch our dreams all there What wakes us at the dawn? When we hear the sea wind blow Now before this love be gone To the sea you must go!
