Ah, the Sea... written by me on February 1, 1997. Introspection and longing.

lyrics

As I journeyed away from the waters edge
I noticed a change in me
When I looked up the mountain-side, I felt strength
Across the fields and the rocky plains, I felt consolation
But I could feel the pull of the sea behind me, behind me

For seven days and six nights, I labored to find a clear path
An inner peace
But I could still feel the pull of the sea behind me
Behind me

I prayed for rain, for thunder
Something to wash away the memory of the sea
But I could still feel her waves pounding me
Washing over me, though me
The pull of the sea

As I clamored up the mountain-side
I could feel the wind coming from the sea
I could taste the salt in the air
And for a moment I longed for the sea to wrap her arms around me

On the summit, I surveyed the land
And I felt a touch of vertigo
Beneath me, the sea beckoned
And I could still feel the pull of the sea
