This Sea - Aurelio Voltaire

«'Twas the worst of times for tinkers like you and me

So in search of fortune I took to the sea.»

«Round my neck, a key you said was to your heart

Held it desperately as your ship left the dock.»

I can’t forget, I won’t forgive this sea

For the endless hurt it gave to me

I want to stab, I want to kill this sea

Took you away, took you away from me

«Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you

And from Suvla Bay, I’ve scars for souvenirs.»

«Love, your son was born.

I wish you could see

Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me.»

«Years have passed — How many, I don’t know anymore

Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes.

It’s getting cold.»

«I stand under moors searching a sea of blue

And forever more, I’ll wait here for you.»
