The Sea Still Sings

I remember the sea I remember How I thought she would sing forever Though her voice it became a whisper But the sea still sings in her heart To the furthest shores of Alaska From the bow of a floundering tanker Her shores in eternal winter But the sea still sings in her heart She waits for the moment So still and alone On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone No laughter of children Where nothing will grow But the sea still sings The sea still sings The sea still sings in her heart I remember the sea, I remember How she rose in a terrible temper On a stormy night in September How the sea still sings in her heart Taking back all her stolen treasure Giving back all our waste with a pleasure Hand in hand with a furious weather
