I touched the ocean, and it felt so deep
I'm beginning to wonder what it wants with me
Let its vastness and beauty graze my fingertips
And its salt infuse my lips
Let its waves pass through me - a crashing, quivering dance
For I am all of nothing in this great expanse
Yet, despite all the souls the beast has prior claimed
It's calling out my name
I've spent every dream on which I can rely
To be lost in that blurry mess of sea and sky
Over miles of dirt, a shell against my ear
Hisses and whispers: "come here"
Let it take me inside its endless, cold embrace
In its satin darkness and waves of lace
For there's nowhere at all that I would rather be:
In the ocean, and it in me
I can hear it through the trees
The metropolistic weeds
Every droplet of rain -
Every gust of breeze
Takes me farther away
From the day to day
To the magical, mystical sea
Though my own unawareness infers fawning and guile
Let it take me adrift for just a little while
But a while to the ocean is eternity
