I remember the sea I remember
|
How I thought she would sing forever
|
Though her voice it became a whisper
|
But the sea still sings in her heart
|
|
To the furthest shores of Alaska
|
From the bow of a floundering tanker
|
Her shores in eternal winter
|
But the sea still sings in her heart
|
|
She waits for the moment
|
So still and alone
|
On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone
|
No laughter of children
|
Where nothing will grow
|
But the sea still sings
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings in her heart
|
|
I remember the sea, I remember
|
How she rose in a terrible temper
|
On a stormy night in September
|
How the sea still sings in her heart
|
|
Taking back all her stolen treasure
|
Giving back all our waste with a pleasure
|
Hand in hand with a furious weather
|
How the sea still sings in her heart
|
|
No longer distraught and no longer alone
|
She took all our shorelines and made them her own
|
Drowned all the people asleep in their homes
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings in her heart
|
|
The mermaids were singing a warning
|
The mermen were teasing and taunting
|
The sirens a song that was haunting
|
Tearing each ship from its mooring
|
And the sea shed her black coat of mourning
|
|
I remember the sea I remember
|
The stillness and calm of the water
|
And a song that went on forever
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings
|
The sea still sings in her heart
|

The Sea Still Sings
