The Sea
Anonymous
Down by the old, ancient sea
There's a little gray house
And it's waiting for me
Since before I was bigger than a man's knee
I've gone down and played on the shore
Down by the old, ancient sea
And the little gray house, that never needed a key
Because it was always open to any
And it's waiting for me
But it must keep on waiting, waiting and singing its silent plea
For I am trapped in a far away land, and not
Down by the old, ancient sea
How I wish I could run away and flee
To see it all again, because I know that it's all there
And it's waiting for me
The big blue waves and little gray house, and all that comes with
Are all sitting patiently, the happiness of home
Down by the sea
And it's waiting for me
