Eyes to The Sea

The maiden stands where the heather grows

Dreams of roads the horizon shows

A whispering wind

Her only friend

"Where do you go

Where does it end?"

Three voices call

But none can see

Her heart's a bird

It aches to be free

The cliff's edge waits

The tide below

"To fly or fall

I’ll choose where I go."

A farmer came with hands of clay

"Stay

My love

In the fields we’ll lay

Plant the seeds

Watch the seasons turn

A steady life’s all you need to learn."

But she shook her head

Eyes to the sea

"Your roots won't hold a heart like me."

Three voices call

But none can see

Her heart's a bird

It aches to be free

The cliff's edge waits

The tide below

"To fly or fall

I’ll choose where I go."

A merchant spoke with coins in hand

"Silks and gold from a distant land

Stay with me

And the world you'll own

But adventure dies when wealth is grown."

But she shook her head

Eyes to the sea

"Your pockets deep can't weigh me down, my heart will fly, while my soul thrives."

Three voices call

But none can see

Her heart's a bird

It aches to be free

The cliff's edge waits

The tide below

"To fly or fall

I’ll choose where I go.

A warrior's march, steel and blood

A promise made, a shield, a sword

"Come, my love,

And live with me,

Tend to wounds, find harmony."

But she shook her head

Eyes to the sea

“A life at home is what you preach, but I have more I wish to see.”

Three voices call

But none can see

Her heart's a bird

It aches to be free

The cliff's edge waits

The tide below

"To fly or fall

I’ll choose where I go.

But she shook her head

Eyes to the sea

“A life at home is what you preach, but I have more I wish to see.”

Three voices call

But none can see

Her heart's a bird

It aches to be free

The cliff's edge waits

The tide below

"To fly or fall

I’ll choose where I go.
