I Want To Live By The Sea
Lost Songs: Vol. I
On a clear day
In the sunshine
Well, I sailed away
To a new life
And the clouds broke
But I never spoke
‘Till I made it there
And found rest
And as I lay my head
I did have a dream
I want to live where the sun it goes down
I want to live by the sea
Chasing my days with a bottle of wine
Fortune and found in the deep
In a storm cloud
In the devil’s shroud
Well, I fell away
To my hate
And the bow broke
But I never spoke
Till I made it there
And found rest
And as I lay my head
Was it all a dream
I want to live where the sun it goes down
I want to live by the sea
Building a boat made of memory and time
Fortune and found in the deep
And there you will find me today
And I will be free
And if I should fall
Don’t wait for me
If I should fall to my fate
Yes, if I should fall
It’s my heart to break
I’d rather lie here and dream
And I will be free
I will be free
I will be free
I will be
I want to live where the sun it goes down

Great words and great feelings that come with them. I live by the ocean and can relate to all of this. I have also started to bring to life some of my old lyrics from songs I wrote when I played in a band. It is interesting to go back and see what inspired you all those years ago. Good job Sawyer!
Chasing my days with a bottle of wine- there's just something awesome about this line. Great Poem!
