ETERNALLY
I made a choice some years ago
To sail the sea no more.
I don�??t regret the life and love
I�??ve made here on the shore.
But I�??m haunted by a temptress
My first true love, the sea.
My dark and stormy mistress
I hear her call to me.
I�??m torn between my life ashore
And the call to sail away.
My love, my life is needed here
I�??m duty bound to stay.
Yet, often I will walk the beach
Throughout the darkest hours.
To hear my lovers mournful call
To feel her awesome power.
Oh, cradle of all Earthly life,
Great mother of the sea.
Cast off the lines that hold my heart
And let my soul sail free.
In the end I will return to you
My final love, the deep.
I�??ll pull your waters over me
Eternally to sleep.
