All along the lee

..shore

                Shells lie

..scattered in the sand

                Winking up like

..shining eyes, at me

                From the sea

                Here is one like

..sunrise

                It's older than

..you know

                It's still lying

..there where some careless wave

                Forgot it long ago

                When I awoke this

..morning

                I dove beneath my

..floating home

                Down below her

..graceful side in the turning

..tide

                To watch the

..seafish roam

                From here to

..Venezuela

                There's nothing

..more to see

                Than a hundred

..thousand islands, flung like

..jewels upon the sea

                For you and me

                LEAD

                Sunset smells of

..dinner

                Women are calling

..at me to end my tails

                But perhaps I'll

..see you, the next quiet place

                I furl my sails
