To The Sea

Comes the first light of the morning

We'd set on our way

Hours and hours of driving through the haze

Past the fields and sleepy cities

Smells of smoke and hay

Scents of life, scents of going away

As the day went by you'd never wish it over

So beautiful is the road to the sea

Sea, my mother

Fold over me

And roll forever

Wild and free

As the lights dimmed over Eyzies

Tiredness gave way

Within reach, the ocean's ebb and sway

Sleep would come, dream-full and heavy

Memories would stay

Memories of a long-gone summer day

As the years went by you'd never wish it over

So beautiful is the road to the sea

Sea, my mother

Fold over me

And roll forever

Wild and free
