The Sea

It’s a beautiful night 
 The moon carpets the water
The trade Winds blowing  
 Me out much further

The sea is all I know
My friend for years
I go a shore sometime
Just to pick up some gears
 
I had a nice house 
And a green eyes  girl
But she wanted to travel
 And left to see the world
 
Came home from the sea 
My bed was cold
The pots on the stove 
Was bout five days old?

She leaves a note 
Says the sea is my life
Can’t compete with it 
 If she were my wife

She took precious Tilly 
Our boxer dog
So I sat drinking 
On a old tree log

Sell the house
For a good price
Head out to sea 
Never think twice

It’s been years now 
Me and the sea are one
Swore I saw mermaid once  
Wave to me and was gone

Yeah sometimes I think of her 
And how it use to be
 My heart belongs to her 
But I live in the sea

The blue water 
The stars in the night 
The dolphin’s swimming
What a beautiful sight 

The Caribbean islands 
The wind beating the sails
 Beautiful coastlines 
And  the beaches of Wales.

The sea is my live 
Like the stars is the sky
I have live here 
And it’s where I will die
