(Verse 1) The morning light begins to break Across the glass of the quiet lake But further out, where the breakers roar I walk alone on the sandy shore The salty wind is sharp and clean The water shifts from blue to green The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out Washing away each care and doubt. (Chorus) By the sea, where the gulls cry high Underneath a wide open sky The waves are singing a steady song This is the place where I belong Footprints fade in the shifting sand Right at the edge of the rising land By the sea, I am finally free Just the deep blue waves and me. (Verse 2) The afternoon brings a golden glow As the gentle breezes start to blow I gather shells of pink and white Bathed in the warm and brilliant light The fishing boats are heading home Cutting through the crests of foam The sun sinks low, a burning ring As the ocean breeze begins to sing. (Chorus) By the sea, where the gulls cry high Underneath a wide open sky The waves are singing a steady song This is the place where I belong Footprints fade in the shifting sand Right at the edge of the rising land By the sea, I am finally free Just the deep blue waves and me. (Bridge) The stars come out to watch the deep While the rest of the world is fast asleep The endless water dark and grand Holding the secrets of the land A timeless rhythm, ancient grace In this wild and beautiful place. (Outro) By the sea... Where the water meets the shore. Forevermore. Just the waves and me.
