What the Sea Remembers
[Verse 1]
This place by the shore
Could ask for nothing more
This place by the shore
Can't help but suspect something more
Lies way down in the deep
Long hidden by the sea
Way down in the gloom
Where ships and seamen met their doom
Remnants of that golden tide
Which drew men across the ocean wide
Left by those times
Which these wide waters serve to hide
Down in the deep where colours fade
Where slaving ships and pirate raids
Left silver coins and rusted chains
Half-eaten by the waves
[Chorus]
What the sea remembers
Is a mystery to me
What the sea remembers
Is all of our history
What the sea remembers
Oh, it buries in the blue
What the sea remembers
Could happen me and you
[Verse 2]
In this place by the shore
I sense something long obscured
Worn by the wash of time
Half-eaten by the salty brine
And if you look close you could see
The outline of that history
Which if you look close you could see
Is a reflection there of you and me
Cause we really never step outside
The world these waters try to hide
Not on this windy shore
Where natures elements collide
But when the waves reached for you
I could not share you with the blue
No, you were mine to keep
So, not for you the hungry deep
[Chorus]
What the sea remembers
It is a mystery to me
What the sea remembers
As it covers all our history
What the sea remembers
Is all it takes away
What the sea remembers
May it spit it out someday
What the sea remembers
It buries in the blue
What the sea remembers
Could happen me and you
What the sea remembers
Could happen me and you
