Shore To Shore

He set sail on a cold winter morning

headed for waters where the mermaids sing

in search of a country undiscovered

so he could be king

Left home his family, his brothers and sisters,

traded his whole life for new sights to see

seagulls screaming as he boldly ventured

into uncharted territory

And the winds kept howling

with no land in sight

on and on, over seas of silence

a lonely traveler's secret delight

The sun faded as she stared at the window

downstairs, another lover went away

her hand shaking as she reached for the bottle

to push her sorrow 'til another day

"All men are the same", she thought to herself

he's just another dick, so why should she care?

There's a thousand more where this one came from,

but how come the emptiness is so hard to bear?

So it's another party

she looks so bright and cool

everyone laughed as she drunkenly staggered

and fell headfirst into the pool

"Am I delirious?", he thought to himself,

his hand grabbed something underneath the sea

and so he slowly pulled her into his vessel

a creature shrouded in mystery

Dizzy as she felt, she could not believe it

who was that man who sweetly looked at her?

How did she come to that unknown ocean

and how come her memories became so blurred?

That's when they learned the secret

of what's to be and what has been

and so together they traveled the waters,

a lonely sailor and his alien queen

Some say stories were told

about a couple who conquered a new world

by spreading love all around

through every danger, they were kept safe and sound

But even if it's untrue

or if such legends mean nothing to you

while sailing from shore to shore

they had each other and needed nothing more.
