One day, I will set sails
out to sea into the sunset,
crossing the last horizon
on my journey with no end.

Embraced by gentle waves,
with no other music than
the whispers in the wind
and the cry of a sea gull.

Remember me, when through
your fingers the water flees
and smile beyond your tears
when you listen quietly
to the song of the sea.
