Deeper Than the Sea

I sail away from shore again; Glad to be at sea. The gentle rock of deep blue waves Sends a true calm right through me. My heart if half on ocean floor And half inside your hands. I feel the absence of my full self As I walk on foreign lands. I'm bound to you in all that I do, But I'm not sure that you see That dear, my love for you is strong And deeper than the sea. Aft! Aft! Hard to port! A storm is coming fast. But even if a hurricane brews It cannot change the past. It cannot change the words you said And, undoubtedly, meant And blow away my misery Or drown the tears I've spent I wish my life could change for good Like the winds that always blow, But dear, the sea, and love of thee Are all that I have known.
