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
