Eternally

I'm haunted by a temptress;
my own true love; the sea.
My dark and stormy mistress
forever calls to me.

I often walk the empty beach
throughout the midnight hours
to hear my lover's mounful call;
to feel her awesome powers.

I'm harbor bound; I'll stay the course...
from this I must not sway.
My life, my love is needed here;
I'm duty bound to stay.

Oh, cradle of all Earthly life;
great mother of the sea,
cast of the lines that moor my heart
and let my soul sail free.

In time I shall return to you,
my final love, the deep...
I'll pull your waters over me
eternally to sleep.
