I WISH I LIVED BY THE SEA

I Wish I Lived By The Sea

I wish I lived by the sea

Where the waves and the waters roll

I think it a good thing for me

To feel there, the wind in my soul

I'd willow my way on the beach

And crunch over pebbles and shells

And there in the ocean's reach

I'd listen for stories to tell

White horses and glistening sand

I'd kick off my shoes and I'd run

And there by the water I'd stand

And bury my face in the sun

I wish I lived by the sea

Where the waves and the waters roar

I'd think it a good thing to be

In a place on the edge of the shore
