The Briny Sea

Oh! the sea, the salty briny sea
takes my worries far away from me
Your rolling waves, your frothy white hat
along your sandy shore edge I've often sat

Walk the shore in my naked feet
seek your kiss when as lovers meet
Mermaids carry aloft silly sailors tales
above the pelican flies with wing spread sails

Moon she floats above us all
while stars in twinkling glitter fall
And the sun a part of an ancient pair
as the maiden let's down her golden hair
