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
