Intro

Sea surf and distant gulls

Verse

The tide lays silver on the shore,

A quiet path where waters meet;

The morning gathers, soft and slow,

And lays its hush beneath my feet.

Chorus

Carry me gently, open sea,

Where every wave can set me free;

Your patient heart, your wide blue air,

Hold all the words I leave there.

Outro

The tide returns, the shore is still,

And peace comes home with evening's will.
