I was in the mood for writing yesterday.
Along came.....
The Sullen Surf Dude
Sleep tight baby 'til the morning comes around.
You can dream a dream of loneliness; in loneliness I've found,
I'm the sullen surf dude, tangled in the sea.
I struggled in the undertow 'til you were there with me.
You said "take my hand,
Let's split from this place.
A life of suffering is written on your face.
Let this be no more,
come swimming with me.
The sullen surf dude isn't welcome on this sea."
Sleep tight baby.
Be wakened by the light.
Leave all the pain you've ever known
behind you with the night.
You're the sullen surf dude,
tangled in the sea.
you struggled in the undertow
now, you are with me.
She said '" take my hand,
let's split from this place.
A life of suffering is written on your face.
Let this be no more,
come swimming with me.
The sullen surf dude isn't welcome on this sea."
There are places on the ocean where a man can drift in danger from the land.
Take me back to safety, let the warm winds there embrace me on the sand.
Je t'aime mon ange, Sirene de la mer
(I love you my angel; Mermaid of the sea)
Je t'aime, Siren e de la mere
(I love you, Mermaid of the sea)
