The Stupid Girl

Everyone's laughing at the stupid girl,
Because she fell in love with the sea.
She said the oceans waved to her,
"Each tide is meant for me."

Everyone's feeling for the stupid girl,
Because she put her toes on the sand.
And she dreamt of rings and of winds and horizons,
And an ocean to just hold her hand.

Nobody cried with the stupid girl,
When she learnt the water was cold.
She learnt all its lies and its tricks and goodbyes,
"I didn't know the sea was so old."

We all despaired with the stupid girl,
When she moved to live near the sea.
She sat on the docks and scribbled and wrote,
Until she perfected her plea -

"It's me or the moon, you can't have us both
But you can have me and the solemnest oath.
I promise to love you, well beyond the shore,
From mountain to city, to hilltop to moor.
I'll worship your tides and your ebb and your flow,
On a raft of devotion, I'll go where you go."

Everyone's laughing at the stupid girl,
Because she got turned down by the sea.
He lingers too far from the shore to be hers,
But too close to the light to be free.

Everyone's laughing at the stupid girl,
Because she fell in love with sea.
She said the oceans waved to her,
"Each tide is meant for me".
