Music :: Lady of the Sea

Her sun rises from the sea
In three hours it shines on me
In between, I’m waking from a dream, of her and me

I see her wading in the ocean
Meets the sky at the horizon
Shared by two the future is as one, destination

I’m in love with this Lady, all can see
That our worlds are colliding, tenderly
I’m in love with this lady, sweet lady of the sea

Turn your sweet face to the sun
Well you know I am the one
Made for you and you were made for me, anyone can see

I’m in love with this lady, all can see
That our vines are entwining, tendrilly
I’m in love with you Mary, sweet lady of the sea

She knows where to find me
She knows where I go
To an island in my river
That my granddad used to know

I know that as a little her girl her heart was sadly broken
But with loving help from loving hands
She made it through the night
I know her as a woman now, she fills my cup to overflowing
She shares the love her grandpa selflessly gave
And grandma day after day
I owe them dearly

And she knows, where to find me
She knows where I go
To our island in our river
That our granddads must have known

Key of B Flat
