Tales from the Sea

 

If the world is dull for you

And waking up is hard to do

Walk along a lonely road

In the darkest hour that comes before dawn


If wild yellow flowers now seem brown

And the tallest trees seem short

Visit the ocean just once more

And throw a stone at those wild wild crows

 

If the ship you sailed on sails no more

And time now moves just too slow

Reach deep sea in a fisherman's boat

Or chase downhill a mountain goat

 

If dark thoughts brood your mind

And the world now seems unkind

Nothing in you is very very wrong

Dive from the beach and catch a prawn

 

If seawater tastes too bitter

And the ocean makes you jitter

Re-enter the sea from an eastern beach

Or catch a crab with your feet
