This Sea

'Twas the worst of times
For tinkers like you and me
So in search of fortune, I took to the sea
Round my neck, a key
You said was to your heart
Held it desperately as your
Ship left the dock

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
For the endless hurt it gave to me
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea
Took you away, took you away from me

Silks from Singapore
A treasure from Tripoli for you
And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs
Love, your son was born i wish you could see
Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea
For the endless hurt it gave to me
I want to stab, I want to kill this sea
Took you away, took you away from me

Years have passed
How many, I don't know anymore
Lost, adrift at sea
A storm comes, it's getting cold
I stand under moors searching a sea of blue
And forever more, I'll wait here for you
