Lyrics

(Akira)
Ever since I can remember anything at all
The light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea
Has been pure magic
Has been pure magic
Ever since I can remember anything at all
The light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea
Has been pure magic
Has been pure magic
Even the mere intimation of it's presence
Gulls flying a little way inland
The quality of light in the sky
Beyond hills which screen it from view
The lowing of foghorns in the night
If ever I have to get away from it all
And in the words of a Chinese poet
Wash all the wrongs of life from my pores
There is simply nothing better
Than to climb out onto a rock
And sit for hours with nothing in sight but sea and sky
Ever since I can remember anything at all
The light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea
Has been pure magic
It has been pure magic
It has been pure magic
Although the rhythm of the waves beats a kind of time
It's not clock or calendar time, it has no urgency
It's timeless time
Because I know I am listening to a rhythm
Which has been just the same for millions of years
And it takes you out of the world of relentlessly ticking clocks
Clocks for some reason or other always seem to be marching
And armies never march to anything but doom
But there's no marching rhythm in the motion of waves
It harmonizes with the breath
It does not count our days
It's pulse is not in the stingy spirit of measuring
Of marking out how much still remains
It's the breathing of eternity
Like the Brahma of Indian mythology
Who inhales and exhales
Manifests and dissolves the worlds
Endlessly, forever
As a mere conception that sounds appallingly monotonous
Until you listen to the breaking and washing of waves
Ever since I can remember anything at all
The light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea
Has been pure magic
Has been pure magic
Ever since I can remember anything at all
The light, the smell, the sound and motion of the sea
Has been pure magic
It has been pure magic
It has been pure magic
