I’ll love you as long as the sea is blue I remember smiling and leaning into his arms They anchored me to the world as we watched the waves crash on the shore Ignoring the calls of the gulls and itch of the sand between my toes I replied without thinking, just sure of the bond between us in a way I’d never been sure of anything Then I’ll love you as deep as the sea* He smiled and hugged me a little tighter in reply And I thought that I had found it On the beach of my childhood, my true home I started to believe in true love
The day we said good bye I drove to the beach As my chest cracked itself open to pour out Everything we had been Into the storm of my tears and the wild wind that battered my car When I got there the wind had whipped even the sand into a frothy fury I found our place, by the little cove and fallen tree It wasn't home without his arms around me
I watched the angry grey waves batter the sand Overwhelmed by the complete expanse of churning water before me The depths in the distance were nearly black and capped in lacy foam As the brewing storm incited the sea The ever deep stormy grey sea
I thought my heart broke then but I couldn't be sure, it was with him Instead, I drove home alone Knowing only fools thought love could last
