Lyrics
The Echo of the Sea by Paul Nicholson
My love is like the sea
A soft and restless trance
Under a red night sky.
Her whisper fills my sail
Driven by an August moon
My fingers dance beneath her flowing veil.
Icebergs of regret
Saltier than tears
Cast numbing shadows
on her sodden offerings.
My love is like the sea
Aroused without warning
A sudden taunting tempest.
Her long arms of treachery
Taking more than she gives
The mother of all storms.
Turn ear from her song
She births empty shells
Left alone, with nothing
But the echo of the sea.
My love is like the sea
A soft and restless trance
Under a red night sky.
Her whisper fills my sail
Driven by an August moon
My fingers dance beneath her flowing veil.
Icebergs of regret
Saltier than tears
Cast numbing shadows
on her sodden offerings.
My love is like the sea
Aroused without warning
A sudden taunting tempest.
Her long arms of treachery
Taking more than she gives
The mother of all storms.
Turn ear from her song
She births empty shells
Left alone, with nothing
But the echo of the sea.
Feter
