The Waves Call Me Home

Ever since I saw the sea I grew captive of its roaring tides I gazed upon the waves with mystery What lies at the other side? Often I sailed east to see the sun rise The first warm rays flowed through me I could see the sun with my own eyes And its reflection in the serenious sea I sailed west to see the sun set I was the first to get a glimpse of darkness Its tethering twilight I shall never forget Its effect on me I can never express Yet still the waves call me to distant lands The wind helps me to glide away Show me the way the celestial sands Takes me to shores I know I cannot stay
