The Sea Still Sings

I remember the sea I remember How I thought she would sing forever Though her voice it became a whisper But the sea still sings in her heart To the furthest shores of alaska From the bow of a floundering tanker Her shores in eternal winter But the sea still sings in her heart She waits for the moment So still and alone On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone No laughter of children Where nothing will grow But the sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings in her heart I remember the sea, I remember How she rose in a terrible temper On a stormy night in September How the sea still sings in her heart Taking back all her stolen treasure Giving back all our waste with a pleasure Hand in hand with a furious weather How the sea still sings in her heart No longer distraught and no longer alone She took all our shorelines and made them her own Drowned all the people asleep in their homes The sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings in her heart The mermaids were singing a warning The mermen were teasing and taunting The sirens a song that was haunting Tearing each ship from it's mooring And the sea shed her black coat of mourning I remember the sea I remember The stillness and calm of the water And a song that went on forever The sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings in her heart --- The Sea Still Sings - Marc Almond
