Oh weary traveler upon the hill The ocean calls you to be still Hear my voice and come to me The deepest darkest bluest sea
So spread your arms And dive within And you will meet your long lost kin
For though I go on endlessly You may not have met me And though you know you are of the sea Some are so much closer to me
The waters wait for your embrace And I will open up the gates For though you are so close to me I am only the deep blue sea
So kick your tail and dive within And you will meet your dying kin While men on land do poison me I am still the deep blue sea
And while my fish and whales die You and I remain alive For nothing but the hottest sun Can burn away the ocean
And even if you die with me And land will reclaim you eventually But I am still the deep blue sea
This was written several years ago, I had been quite ill for a while, and while I was in a fever dream I heard this being sung to me. After I awoke, it was rather disconcerting, given that no-one else lives with me.
