O my gracious seas alive your make-ups changed your lace again those of us who knew you don't even know your name is it cause you’ve lost another lover don’t any understand how to touch you with that special flame how you hide your secret well I can’t see your not the blame but O ocean sea are your lips still as lily white do you still bloom and roll o’er all ‘round and through Pixie light O my lovely ocean lady you took me when I was so very fair are the other waves that we met still there the same as the ones before do they still roll to your welling flames or have you taught them how to dance another staying up for luscious nights or did they die in summers rising covers when they woke to find your make-up smeared all over. If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.
