Lyrics
The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say she is so strong and brave
Flexing out with every wave
Many ancient sailors graves
The sea will save them all
And what a day for us to swim
Thunderous arms are closing in
They're hugging us like kith and kin
Pull us in below
And I was wondering why
Why should we float
When you can swallow the sky
When you can swallow gray boats
They say the moon controls the sea
Hand in hand in harmony
Maybe that's like you and me
Eternally to be
And you will crash against the land
Turning rocks into the sand
We'll do it like we always planned
Just hand in hand, alone
And I was wondering why
Why should we flow
When you can swallow the sky
And you can swallow gray boats
