the sea wrote notes to me
on the shore
the waves have left my body sore
I can't get the salt
out of my mouth
I brought fresh water
but I ran out
she was a lamp for me
and she'd shone me to you
I reflected brightly on all I'd
known to be true
I can't wipe the image from my eyes
the water ripples around my waist
and then reflects the sunrise
and I knew forever I'd regret
the moment i turned my back
on the sunset
