The Ocean Queen

Was it the wave, was it the spray? 
Whatever it was, please don’t take it away 
Bring it closer toward me, smile for awhile 
I know you’re forever taunting, it’s your sexy style 
You’re music in motion along the sandy beach 
Ever so close but just a little out of reach 
A wink from those browns, chills up and down 
I’m forever your slave, forever your clown 
Your teasing ways, just another of your plays 
That draws my heart toward you out in the spray 
Come closer tonight when the moon shines bright 
And sip from this glass and spend another night 
Tell me of places we can travel now and again 
As I’ll be ready to hold you till the very end 
Three shades of blue, three shades of green 
You vanish once more as you’re the ocean’s queen 
But in my heart I know you’ll return once again 
And I’ll try with all my might your heart again to win
