Sand slaps against my feet
With the echoes of the
Footprints that I left before
The hollow ring of the
Departing tide
Reverberates through my toes
The constant steely water
Always comes
But never really goes
Is there anything more beautiful than a tugboat?
Earth and sea
Swallow me
And I am home
This place makes me a mermaid
Magic in the sea salt
Returns me to my childhood
Who can resist the trumpet call
Of a castle in the sand?
I hear laughter on these shores
In the waves
Hidden in cool, splashing bubbles
When I disturb the mighty rock fortresses
Of the scrabbling water bugs
I fell in love on this beach
A veil of sea **** awaits me
And I will carry a bouquet of
Sky and Salt

With the echoes of the
Footprints that I left before
The hollow ring of the

Reverberates through my toes
The constant steely water
Always comes
But never really goes
Is there anything more beautiful than a tugboat?
Earth and sea
Swallow me
And I am home
This place makes me a mermaid
Magic in the sea salt
Returns me to my childhood
Who can resist the trumpet call
Of a castle in the sand?
I hear laughter on these shores
In the waves
Hidden in cool, splashing bubbles
When I disturb the mighty rock fortresses
Of the scrabbling water bugs
I fell in love on this beach
A veil of sea **** awaits me
And I will carry a bouquet of
