The Sound of the Sea

We live alone
On an island of stone
My husband, three children and me
We keep the light
That shines through the night
For the ships as they travel to sea
Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It’s only the sound of the sea
The children are fed
Safely in bed
I pick up my candle and flee
With such a small light
It’s just me and the night
The moon and her empathy
Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It’s only the sound of the sea
How the ocean sang to me
A siren song so sweet
Now I am the sound of the sea
Sometimes in all of this silence
I hear the waves calling to me
They tease me with dreams of such far away things
It’s only the sound of the sea
It’s only the sound of the sea
