the sea the sea

i thought it was enough but obviously it was not 
when i see the sea the sea

life and death keep coming despite my wish to be left alone
when i see the sea the sea

you see the sea the sea was written by iris murdoch (1978)
when she saw the sea the sea

god knows how fucking tired i am these days
when i see the sea the sea

but strangely life and death keep invigorating me with a wry smile
when i see the sea the sea

now you see the sea the sea is eternity itself
when you see the sea the sea

in which lie our sin remorse folly failure hopelessness courage prayer and even hope
when you and i see the sea the sea

i cannot repay you a childhood and promise you a new beginning
but you and i can go to see the sea the sea  

now i finally know why i had to go to the sea those years
because the sea the sea was calling throughout those deep nights
