Stories from the sea From the northern wind You call upon the elements To Begin The first page opens up And with only a glimpse of the treasures Within invites you And you've drawn to reading some Long forgotten line When the story unfolds like a map And a road to a bold life You've got me a horse to ride on You've got me a tale to write on I get lost between the covers venture on Face the bends and the turn to the point Where it burns And drains you Feed me words to cling to Or fire off like an arrow Words so cross the line A travelling mind's A gift of the curious kind You've got me a horse to ride on You've got me a tale to write on All your quirks and your twists All down in the gutter Stamped on and undercover You're not afraid, don't even bother No more of the same, no more waiting No more of that game, put an end to acting Nothing but the ocean on my way I'm not gonna stay You've got me a horse to ride on You've got me a tale to love and know so well Stories from the sea From the northern wind
