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.»
«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.»
