lyrics

my love, my love is drowning in waters I can’t see
the calling voice is stronger than any word from me
I hold him but he’s slipping away
nothing I can do will make him stay

the call leads him deeper hooked into his soul
and if I try to keep him here, oh he’ll never, never be whole
the sea knows his name

my love, my love is wandering on oceans far from me
the calling voice a more bitter loss than his own family
he tries to float but he’s fading fast
weighed down by the fears of his past

the call leads him deeper hooked into his soul
and if I try to keep him here, oh he’ll never, never be whole
the sea knows his name

my love, my love was lost one night to the belly of the sea
the calling voice pulled harder in the silence of the deep
the space he left so cold by my side
he’s drifting, jetsam on the tide

the call leads him deeper hooked into his soul
and if I try to keep him here, oh he’ll never, never be whole
the sea knows his name

oh, the sea knows his name
only the sea knows…

beauty is... tears in laughter, small joys even in the midst of sorrow, a drifting feather, a cold beach, the wind over the ocean, cold fingers on the skin making your heart warm, storm clouds and lightning, rain, the sun through green leaves in the morning, voices singing, the rhythm of a drum, the beat of your heart, the sigh of your breath and moments of pure relaxation...and a ukulele helps. ... more
