Standing by the Sea

Fresh water flows
Soon to be salty
Drink it quick
Before it turns to poison
Did you bring some thoughts
When you came from the mountain
Leave them here at my feet
I'll watch them while I'm

Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea

Distant boats making waves
I wish they'd use a sail
Instead of burning diesel
I can't hear my thoughts
My fears, my dreams and aspirations
In the chug and splash that I hear

Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea

Evening falls and the noises are all gone
Now it's just me and the sea
A silky seal slips to the surface
Don't think she even knows
Or cares but she sees me

Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
Standing by the sea
