about
A song of longing for something that everyone said was imaginary.
lyrics
They say you’re an illusion
Of some sailor’s crazed confusion
You only have a foothold in some mythic fairytales
But I don’t share that notion
I just look to the ocean
To see the sunlight shine upon your scales
Sea lady, please hold me here in your arms
Sea lady, I’m hypnotized by your charms
Sea lady, my mind is clear of its sins
Sea lady, the world, it lies at your f—
Your face is just a vision
But you’re no apparition
I see you every morning as I make my daily grind
I get the inclination
To accept your invitation
To leave this washed-up world I see behind
Sea lady, you took my soul for a swim
Sea lady, my heart is out on a limb
Sea lady, I can’t control my desire
Sea lady, you turn the drought into fire
Sea lady, I carried you in my dreams
Sea lady, it’s just as good as it seems
Sea lady, you dance the blue like a veil
Sea lady, you always could shake a t—
You settle on the shingles at the threshold of the sea
You call me with the music that you sing so tenderly
I wander dazed across the sand, a captive of your wile
You knew full well that none on land could hook me with a smile
I hope that we can fashion
A life of endless passion
Away from this pedestrian parade
Sea lady, you’ve got me head over heels
Sea lady, I can’t explain how it feels
Sea lady, although they said to beware
Sea lady, I’m fallen, slain by your snare
Sea lady, you’re just content to be a
Sea lady, deep in my heart, i see ya
Sea lady, without consent I’ve been hurled
Sea lady, forever part of your world
