Come with me down to the sea


from the ABC set Unordered Tales

Come with me down to the sea,
we'll watch the setting sun.
We'll paddle in the twilight
till all the light has gone.

We'll skim pebbles across the sea
and watch the birds fly home.
We'll write our names upon the sand,
see them covered by the foam

We'll make a wish that's secret
and whisper to the sky.
I'll take your hand and you'll take mine,
we'll watch the ships sail by.

When at last its time to go
with sea wind in our hair,
our footprints will just fade away
like we were never there.

Then one day when you're old like me
and you're days are nearly done
Take a trip down to the sea
with your very own grandson.
