Lullabye of the Sea

Language: English

I want you to pray like the ocean
Until your clasped hands sweat with joy

* I want you to forget like the ocean
Until you're mistaken for a whistling youth

Look: there's been contentment in its depths
From the very beginning
Even if you haven't noticed it yet

And in front of that distant glance
The ocean: the first ocean

* (repeat)

I want you to believe like the ocean
Until you're unusually quiet with your grasped hands

**I want you to sing like the ocean
Until the dusk of a clockless holiday

Look: there's been happiness in its depths
Quite naturally
Even if you don't notice it

And in that slight touch
The ocean: the first ocean

**(repeat)
