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
