Poseidon with a trident
Neptune with a net I really
cant remember
How we met
I dreamed that I was flying
But that was not my dream
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
And when my body tired
I was taken by the tide
Out beyond the waves
Where nothing can survive
So I come to surrender
I won't fight no more
I won most every battle
But lost the war
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
I tumble in the chaos
Of jagged reef
Jealous of the turtles
Floating easily where the current
Takes them but I can't hold my breath
Long enough to find a place to rest
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
Underneath the surface where the music has no sound
A symphony where no instruments are allowed.
But the song plays eternally
But I hear you singing and you hear me
So I wrote this song for you.
The Song of the Sea
We were swimming against the current
Swimming in the sea
