Once More:
I must return to the sea again, to the salt air and the sky, And all that I ask for is a tall masted ship, and a star to steer her by. I must set sail on the sea again, through both the calm days and the storms, To see the raging waves on the breakers, and the sun streaked morns. I must go down to the sea again, to hear once again, The fast turning tide, and the white gulls singing, to the unwary likes of men. I must to return to the sea again, to watch the waters churning, To feel again the salt spray flying, and the sea stones burning. I must return to the sea again, to the freedom that I long left behind, I yearn for the old ship's creaking, and I long for the oceans deep mind. Through all my distant travels, and all my wondering thoughts, My weary heart has come to rest, in a place that can not be bought. I stand upon the seas once more, and gaze at the distant spray, And I smile as the sharp sea wind carries my soul away.
