Cordelia

Boots in the sand
And salt in my veins
My Bonnie she lies away
Fish out of water
I’m tethered to the shore
A lighthouse that ward’s the ships astray
———————-
My heart it lies out beyond the break
My prison here behind the waves
———————-
Lost and alone
She’s a-rolling on the sea
Forever she’s bound away from me
Out on the horizon
I swore I saw her face
A visage of the salt and the spray
———————-
So young and so foolish
A greenhorn in the brine
If only i could just take it back
Never should I have
cursed upon the name
The albatross around my neck
———————-
My heart it lies out beyond the break
My prison here behind the waves
———————-
Lost and alone
She’s a-rolling on the sea
Forever it keeps my love from me
Out on the horizon
I swore I saw her face
A visage of the salt and the spray
———————-
Will we be together
When time it comes for me
My lover and I. The daughter of the sea
