((NOTE: I wrote this song as a gift to a wonderful author and poet, RaspberryGirl, as a contribution to her two awesome stories By the Seashore and Beneath the Waves (on fanfiction net) Her stories have inspired in me, a deep love for the mysteries of the sea. If you read these lyrics before your read her stories, please go check her stories out after! those tales are too good to be abandoned by readers.

Please enjoy my song, even though you can’t hear it – you might one day.))

“Song of the Seashore”

Body

Along a shore of ocean surfs,

there’s a cliff where I often perch.

It’s where I’m always waiting

for the one I long to search.

Sometimes I wonder why I wait,

every tide after roaring tide.

And why is it that I think of fate,

though I know how time will bide.

But, oh, how I fear how you’ll forget,

to return from the sea to me.

It’s been so long that I can’t recall,

why you chose the sea to me.

Where is that soul who binds me,

to this road of endless hope?

Despite how my heart finds you,

my mind won’t seem to cope.

Between the edge of our two worlds –

Between the land and sea,

It’s on this wooded secret path,

I’ll always remember thee.

Chorus

Like the seashell that croons,

a gift I got from you –

The wolves sing to the moons,

as I sing to you.

My ears strain to hear

a call back to me.

But all I seem to hear,

is the calling of the sea.
