"I am a part of you," Is what I say to the waves below My eyes, the same shade of blue As the ocean's tide glows I taste the salt in my mouth As it drips from my swollen eyes The same salt in the whale's spout That in which the ocean lies From the lighthouse I watch the rocky shore And my eyes leak more and more What more could I want of me Than to be part of that glimmering sea? I do not even exist anymore As I sprint across the rocky shore I collapse into the shimmering sea Because a part of them is a part of me The townspeople call me crazy I'll prove them all wrong one day I still taste the salt in my mouth I think I am fading away The sun is setting on the beach And salty tears are running down my face I connect my tears with the water And disappear without a trace Stars appear in the night sky Reflecting on the sea's blue Below the waves, you'll find me lie Am I finally a part of you?

Where the Sea Greets Me
"I am a part of you," Is what I say to the waves below My eyes, the same shade of blue As the ocean's tide glows I taste the salt in my mouth As it drips from my swollen eyes The same salt in the whale's spout That in which the ocean lies From the lighthouse I watch the rocky shore And my eyes leak more and more What more could I want of me Than to be part of that glimmering sea? I do not even exist anymore As I sprint across the rocky shore I collapse into the shimmering sea Because a part of them is a part of me The townspeople call me crazy I'll prove them all wrong one day I still taste the salt in my mouth I think I am fading away The sun is setting on the beach And salty tears are running down my face I connect my tears with the water And disappear without a trace Stars appear in the night sky Reflecting on the sea's blue Below the waves, you'll find me lie Am I finally a part of you?
