lost sailor

please don't wash up on my shore

my heart's not haunted anymore

i threw those love songs to the sea

so don't you dare return to me

please don't anchor in my bay

darling, you could never stay

and i don't want to sink back in

those blue eyes i lost way back when

so please don't settle in my port

i have found a different sort

the kind of love that's evergreen

the kind not afraid to be seen

so please, enjoy the sea

you always longed so, to be free

but don't touch back to land

you made your choice.

i'll make my stand.

i'm not standing on the dock

with your picture in a locket

i'm not waiting on that shore

for a lost sailor anymore

so please don't step onto my sand

as if you'll ever understand

you broke me into fragments, dear

he picked them up and held them near

so i will settle in his bed

and wash you clean out of my head

enjoy the view at sea, my dear

as i enjoy mine laying here
