I will never forget the day
my friend she said to me
I now have a lover
my lover is the sea
Being just a girl
a girl of only ten
I said to her oh really
the sky is my lover then
she said to me you have the sky
my lover is the ocean
we went our way
the time to play
was over for the day
My lover is the ocean
she said to me again
this time I was not ten
I said to her you're a lady now
that can never be
your not a girl
stop telling lies to me
she said oh yes
the ocean is my lover
he covers me in waves
he lines my lashes with diamonds
and in his arms I lay
he calls to me at night and bids me to come stay
I to her did say
why bother me with silly tales
please do now go away
the ocean is my lover
my mind it never left
I think of her sometimes
and it leaves my heart bereft
she went one night to the sea
and danced with him it seems
she kissed his sweet and salty lips
and lived with him in dreams
she stayed all night within his arms
until she fell asleep
the ocean is her lover
and now the two are wed
she lives with him within the deep
the thought fills me with dread
