I Will Go Down to the Sea

Watch the sailboats on the waves
I sit on the shore and I see
Here's the promise that I gave
One day I'll return to the sea again

Watch the sunrise from the shore
With longing I wait to be free
Soon I will be there once more
For my heart belongs to the sea always

I will go down to the sea once again
For my heart remembers and cries out in pain
A yearning for times past I follow the signs cast
And I will return to the sea

Evening tides roll away
But I am drawn back to the shore
But on the wind and on the spray
The ocean doth call out once more, once more

Many years have drifted by
And I will drift on with no cares
So many places beneath the sky
But I have belonged to nowhere, nowhere

I will go down to the sea once again
For my heart remembers and cries out in pain
A yearning for times past I follow the signs cast
And I will return to the sea

And on that day I will live once again
My soul will fly true and fly free
And on that day I will sing once again
A song of my love for the sea
The sea

I will go down to the sea once again
For my heart remembers and cries out in pain
A yearning for times past I follow the signs cast
And I will return to the sea

And on that day I will live once again
My soul will fly true and fly free
And on that day I will sing once again
A song of my love for the sea
The sea...
