He sat alone upon a hill
The waves pulling at his side
He could feel the salt inside his veins
And could hear the storm arrive

He closed his eyes and saw her face
So plain the others had decried
Yet he'd felt the warmth she'd held within
And the beauty that lay inside

Yet their words soon blinded him
No beauty he began to believe
Oh he turned his back and he toasted them
He drank the world for all to see

With haste she turned and chased the night
No tears to wipe with her hand
While he searched the land to find his love he fell
And cried 'please help this man'

He said it swells like the oceans flow
Love drew me in as the tides draw the sea
Oh but I was foolish just like my friends I let my
Eyes rule what I should feel
