This Sea

"'T was the worst of times for tinkers like you and me.

So in search of fortune I took to the sea."

"Round my neck, a key you said was to your heart.

Held it desperately as your ship left the dock"

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea

for the endless hurt it gave to me.

I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.

Took you away, took you away from me.

"Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you.

And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs."

"Love, your son was born. I wish you could see.

Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me."

"Years have passed. How many, I don't know anymore.

Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold."

"I stand under moors searching a sea of blue

And forever more, I'll wait here for you."
