Swept From the Sea
He came from across the world.
Swept from the sea.
To love, and, be loved by me.
I waited forever by the shores.
Looking out to sea. Waiting for,
my love to come to me.
Legend says if you wait long
enough, it will surely come to be.
Beyond the bend that turns the tides.
My distant thoughts were so entwined.
I knew one day you'd come for me.
So there I stood for days looking at the sea.
In hopes that you too were looking for me.
Then one day I saw you were staring at me.
Even though you spoke another language.
I knew that day you came for me,
That's where we built our kingdom of love,
by the sea.
