My thoughts drift away 
Onto the salty breeze,
A melodic verse 
Of memories past,
Given away 
To the sea, to the sea;
Let her take 
My heart at last.

The waves crash and roll,
Softly embracing the shore.
Barely a caress,
Then coaxed back again,
To the deep, to the deep
And vast expanse
Of the sea, of the sea; 
All is new and forgiven. 

I gaze upon her, 
Blue eyes spilling all my secrets.
Relief washes over me,
Like water over sand.
And for now I am one
With the sea, with the sea;
Bound not by the past, 
Bound not to the land.
