“THE SEA”

©2007

(v1)

A trading ship, treading sea, catch the wind no colder

Crafty wind, no craft could sail, was soon to be no floater

“Hands on deck”, the mates did yell,

“The Davie Jones is bringing hell”.

The memory was left to swell up upon the beaches…..

(ch)

Hoping for the face, she knew would never come

In a love that should have lasted centuries

The world he set to sail longing for her touch

Standing on the beaches of her memories

(v2)

Time has come and time has gone, no time these wounds could heal

Although it’s been so many years, these wounds weren’t cut with steel

Her love was bound to loving he

His was bound to the open sea

No mortal love was meant, for she had always been the sea……

(Repeat Chorus / End)

Damn.

That was good. I'd like to hear it put to pipes.
