I left the comfort of my home
And ran away to be alone.
I walked the shore down by the sea
And just my footprints followed me.
I heard the sea and saw its spray
Wash up the beach then roll away.
I heard the call of sea birds high
And watched them soaring in the sky.
I felt the breeze upon my hair
And drank the sweet cool evening air.
Then as the sun sank out of sight
And daylight vanished into night
I turned around and walked away
And dreamed that one day I could stay.
