Haunted by the melody
Oh the memory
Waves frothing as they play
Toes digging into sand
The wind tasting like salty tears
Bring the corrosion near
Near enough to wear me down
Oh but it brings a smile not a frown
Happiness in the white shores
I want more and more
Then I look out into the endless water
Standing here on its border
A little fear rushes through me
Something so vast that will always be
Still I must go deeper
The sky is too blue to protect me
Cold arms reach out to keep me
I want the sea to win
To take me in
Then a rolling wave that fills the sky
Washes away the breath I cannot deny
I struggle for life
I must leave her behind
Dragging myself into the warm sand
Yellow fills my sight again
But I know one day I will travel her path
Into the deep
Into the sea
