lyrics

When I go away to sea,
You stay at home, you're far inshore.
I watch white horses leap from the bow,
Wave goodbye to this port side town.
When I go away to sea,
Do you think of me?

Where shall I be? Over the sea.
So many miles from my love.
Watch the sky, clouds drift by,
wings of a bird above.
Bird carry my song with you high,
over the sea to my love.
Icy breeze, raindrops freeze,
but love warms me like a glove.

Days go by, I see the sky,
infinite new shades of blue.
Under the waves, shapes seem to pave,
a watery path back to you.
I see the bright pulse of the lights,
stringing a chain by the shore.
Their friendly beat, lulls me to sleep,
to dream of the one I long for.

Storm wails, roars, blue-green wave walls,
rise and fall, rip with all of nature's force.
Rain pours, lacerating all aboard.
Such power, I'll hold this wild hour,
to share with you.

Think of me, feel me breathe,
picture you see through my eyes.
Humpbacked whale's crescent tail,
an unbelievable size.
A flash of green lit in between,
colours of day and night.
Pale, misty dawn, a mirrored calm.
I dream that you are by my side.
