The Sea Always Wins

[verse] In the distant islands, she waits, she waits, she waits For the cloud of milky sails to slide through the choppy strait, Eyes cast out to the ocean and its infinite skies, She waits for him to come back home, with jealousy in her eyes [Verse] On the distant ocean, he sails, he sails, he sails, Braving raging tempests and the weight of destiny's scales He travels with his true bride, the stormy, willful sea And chooses to forget the girl, who waits upon the quay [chorus] The most alluring love will steal your sailor's heart, Her frothy waves and darkened depths will keep him long apart. The siren's song of rippling sails and breath of her fair wind, A sailor's wife must truly learn that the sea will always win. A sailor's wife must truly learn that the sea will always win.
