The Sea

I wandered to the sea, hoping to find some comfort there I got lost, for a time, in the hypnotic waves, crashing on the sand I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... For a time, I lived a dream, with every waking moment, bliss But, then it was gone, and I was left behind I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... Feeling stirred inside of me, that I could not fight I could hear the sound of a thousand voices, telling me which way to go I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... That night, the lightning flashed, and the angry rain soaked the sand I stood in the middle of the storm I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... Your voice betrayed you, I knew something was wrong But, you turned your face from me, you could not speak I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... Oh, I grew to love you, and how I loved you! But, you stole away, on a grey-sky morning I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... The chance just passed you by But, do not fear, the next one's not far behind I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... I was so scared, and so in love I was so lost in everything that you are I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea... Oh, how I was drawn to you, my love And I would sink into the teal/blue depths of your never-ending eyes A person could get lost, in the ocean that you are Yes, I was drawn to the rhythm of the sea...
