Sit down, young children on my sandy shore,
I am the deep blue sea;
I have a story for every boy and girl
who will listen to me.
See, I was born in a thunderstorm and as a raindrop i felt so free
till i was taken from the river i loved;
she was like a mother to me.
It's true my waters are frought with danger,
but i need you to believe
that I have never hurt an honest sailor,
or battered your homes with my seas.
Best from the north wind,
Best from the south wind.
Best from the west and from the east.
They tresspass on me, they raise my fury
they make me foam and they make me boil.
I have a friend, one that I love;
Her name is the moon,
She holds me close.
When she gets thirsty, I let her drink
when morning comes, i lay her back down to sleep.
You may ask, Child, how old I am;
Well i'm as old as there is time.
Anchors have scarred my deep, blue heart,
and the whale men robbed me blind.
In times are comin'
I will give up all these souls that i have hid.
And in the firelight i will return
to the place i did begin.
I have a friend,
one that i love.
Her name is the moon;
she holds me close.
When she gets thirsty,
I let her drink.
When morning comes,
I lay her back down to sleep.
