Down By the Sea

Down by the sea, 
living free, 
you and me 
 
Let yourself go 
Down by the sea, 
for you see............ 
I know 
what it means to be free, 
down by the sea 
 
Walk along the shore, 
listen to the steady roar, 
of waves on the beach 
Always in your reach, 
and you want it more 
 
Down by the sea, 
gulls passing by 
What it is to be free 
dont you agree? 
Down by the sea, 
watching them fly 
 
Down by the sea, 
you reach that stage 
Wind in your hair 
You.......... 
out of your cage, 
see what's there 
 
Down by the sea, 
time can show, 
tidal flow 
Let your self go 
You and me 
 
Down by the sea 
Seaspray can take it all away 
Cant you see? 
Live today 
 
Down by the sea, 
this wind, 
sets you free 
Mind to fly, 
body to sigh 
 
Down by the sea, 
you and me 
Extend  yourself 
body and mind 
You have the time, 
to be............ 
Down by the sea 
 
Down by the sea, 
body and spirit, 
peaceful harmony 
You and me 
Tidal flow 
Take me......... 
where I want to be 
 
Down by the sea 
It becomes real 
Tides can heal 
You and me 
Where we want to be

I love the sea. Today I shoveled a pile of fresh new snow. I would love to be on the beach. Sound like a healing time by the sea. God Bless Phyl
