early morning swim
like singing a hymn
just the sound of the water
with its gentle waves
everything behaves
a day that will be hotter*

Unraveling what’s under the sea
On their honeymoon full of glee
Diving, snorkelling they both agree
Fish undersea, fish undersea
Language of love so powerful
Just the two of them, colourful
Eating, sleeping, all wonderful
So beautiful, so beautiful
Under the sea and its treasure
They take their time at their leisure
See corals and fish with pleasure
Glorious weather, glorious weather**

A lingering look towards the sea
My heart hoping to see the ship
My captain coming to rescue me
My legs carried me in the strip
With stretched arms waiting to be hugged
My heart hoping to see the ship
Since we were young I was always thugged
Instead the rain comes and I’m drenched
With stretched arms waiting to be hugged
A thirst that can never be quenched
Rocking my whole being with hope
Instead the rain comes and I’m drenched
The door to my heart’s there to cope
As narrow as the strip I wait
Rocking my whole being with hope
Now the passage being very strait
A lingering look towards the sea
Here I am waiting for our fate
My captain coming to rescue me***
