i desire for a life on the shore
where the birds sing and the tides flow
i want to run away and close the door
and find a place that only i know
i want to surf all day
and swim amongst the creatures of the sea
i want to navigate the bay
and lose myself in sweet serenity
i want to explore the land
and play my guitar
i want to lay my feet in the sand
and at night count every star
but then i find
that this elysian world
shall never be mine
for it is only a dream
that i wish to keep
far away in my mind's seam
as i drift off to sleep~
