The only woman I have known is the sea, She is my lover, my mistress, my queen. I’ve loved her, I’ve hated, I’ve longed just to be, The wildest Medusa that man’s ever seen The ocean is silent, the ocean is wide, Beneath all the stars, in the stillness of night. The voice of the wind and the pull of the tide, Are calling my heart to the shores of her light. The only woman I have known is the sea, She is my lover, my mistress, my queen. I’ve loved her, I’ve hated, I’ve longed just to be, The wildest Medusa that man’s ever seen. The breakers are crashing, so wild and so blind, Like tempestuous love tearing deep in my mind. This charting of waters, unknown and severe, Yet sweetness arrives as the shadows clear... And brings us the peace that we long for near. The only woman I have known is the sea, She is my lover, my mistress, my queen. I’ve loved her, I’ve hated, I’ve longed just to be, The wildest Medusa that man’s ever seen. The road is so long o'er the crest of the wave, Old stories inscribed in the sands of the past. The breath of the ocean is gentle and grave, As every great wave falls to silence at last. It is the sea... Mmm-ur-ah...
