The Sea
It’s a beautiful night
The moon carpets the water
The trade Winds blowing
Me out much further
The sea is all I know
My friend for years
I go a shore sometime
Just to pick up some gears
I had a nice house
And a green eyes girl
But she wanted to travel
And left to see the world
Came home from the sea
My bed was cold
The pots on the stove
Was bout five days old?
She leaves a note
Says the sea is my life
Can’t compete with it
If she were my wife
She took precious Tilly
Our boxer dog
So I sat drinking
On a old tree log
Sell the house
For a good price
Head out to sea
Never think twice
It’s been years now
Me and the sea are one
Swore I saw mermaid once
Wave to me and was gone
Yeah sometimes I think of her
And how it use to be
My heart belongs to her
But I live in the sea
The blue water
The stars in the night
The dolphin’s swimming
What a beautiful sight
The Caribbean islands
The wind beating the sails
Beautiful coastlines
And the beaches of Wales.
The sea is my live
Like the stars is the sky
I have live here
And it’s where I will die
