I remember the sea I remember   How I thought she would sing forever   Though her voice it became a whisper   But the sea still sings in her heart      To the furthest shores of alaska   From the bow of a floundering tanker   Her shores in eternal winter   But the sea still sings in her heart      She waits for the moment   So still and alone   On her shoreline a necklace of feather and bone   No laughter of children   Where nothing will grow   But the sea still sings   The sea still sings   The sea still sings in her heart      I remember the sea, I remember   How she rose in a terrible temper   On a stormy night in september   How the sea still sings in her heart      Taking back all her stolen treasure   Giving back all our waste with a pleasure   Hand in hand with a furious weather   How the sea still sings in her heart      No longer distraught and no longer alone   She took all our shorelines and made them her own   Drowned all the people asleep in their homes   The sea still sings   The sea still sings   The sea still sings in her heart      The mermaids were singing a warning   The mermen were teasing and taunting   The sirens a song that was haunting   Tearing each ship from it's mooring   And the sea shed her black coat of mourning      I remember the sea I remember   The stillness and calm of the water   And a song that went on forever   The sea still sings   The sea still sings   The sea still sings   The sea still sings in her heart
