Whales And Sharks

Sundowner

Compositor: Chris McCaughan

I belong to the sea
To the algae far beneath
Swimming with the whales and the sharks
In the never-ending breeze
Under a map of unknown stars
Are the deepest, darkest hearts
Like the wreckage far off shore
I'm dead asleep on the ocean floor

My time will come
The waves will crash
The mast will fall
The sea will rise
The storms will pass
The sharks will sail on

I belong to the sea
To the valleys in the deep
To the plant-life and the fish
And the shining coral reef
To the last and shipwrecked souls
Telling legends of treasure and gold
To a mutiny that begins
In the darkest hearts of men
