I remember the sea I remember

How I thought she would sing forever

Though her voice it became a whisper

But the sea still sings in her heart



To the furthest shores of Alaska

From the bow of a floundering tanker

Her shores in eternal winter

But the sea still sings in her heart



She waits for the moment

So still and alone

On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone

No laughter of children

Where nothing will grow

But the sea still sings

The sea still sings

The sea still sings in her heart



I remember the sea, I remember

How she rose in a terrible temper

On a stormy night in September

How the sea still sings in her heart



Taking back all her stolen treasure

Giving back all our waste with a pleasure

Hand in hand with a furious weather

How the sea still sings in her heart



No longer distraught and no longer alone

She took all our shorelines and made them her own

Drowned all the people asleep in their homes

The sea still sings

The sea still sings

The sea still sings in her heart



The mermaids were singing a warning

The mermen were teasing and taunting

The sirens a song that was haunting

Tearing each ship from its mooring

And the sea shed her black coat of mourning



I remember the sea I remember

The stillness and calm of the water

And a song that went on forever

The sea still sings

The sea still sings

The sea still sings

The sea still sings in her heart
