North Sea

I love you
You’re far ‘cross the sea
Where the North wind blows strong
And your heart is free
And I love me
And this is my home
And I will not betray
What makes me whole

My place is here
Upon the land
Where promise exists
Like seeds in my hand
You’ve come here before
You’ve been to my door
You’ve looked inside
And seen what I hide
Your heart of gold
Opened to behold
All that I am
And all that I’ve sewn
You’ve seen my heart
All speckled with stars
That shines down on this land
That tears me apart

How are you
I know your heart
Dances with the North Sea
That keeps us apart
And I remember you
Dancing with me
While the record spun soft
How our futures were free
How your land was brave
Quiet and grave
The wind on my face
The taste of the days

Your place is there
Across the sea
And I will not betray
What you are to me
The dunes and the strand
Your flat open land
The language of your heart
I’d known from the start

I love you
You’re far ‘cross the sea
Where the North wind blows strong
And your heart is free
And I love me
And this is my home
And I will not betray
What makes us whole
