Deep and silent sea Close to you, I feel protected You are so like me In your face I am reflected Tell me what to do For you know so well My soul is restless too Touching every shore You belong to no one ever Let the tempest roar You remain and dwell forever Secret are your ways Do you wonder that I'd love you All my days You can be unkind Where the children play And you drown their castles in the tide They don' t seem to mind For they run to you And their arms are open wide. Teach me to be free To be sure and strong and sea like Deep and shining You are what I long to be like Let the world go by I will love you till The silent sea runs dry
