June was the lobster shell

I dug by hand

A haven that hid me well

Beneath the sand

The wide windy waves washed in

But I stayed dry

The great breakers broke again

As I nodded off inside

And then

When the Empress ran aground

And my eyes turned blue and green

I heard a gorgeous sound

And that's when it became a dream

When the sky fell in

When the hurricanes came for me

I could finally crash again

And that's how I became the sea

I wrenched the engines off

And drank them down

The depths turned the iron soft

As they swiftly drowned

And I brought the ocean side

To its rusty knees

As I felt the even tide

Deep in my shallow dreams

And then

When the Empress ran aground

And my eyes turned blue and green

I heard a gorgeous sound

And that's when it became a dream

When the sky fell in

When the hurricanes came for me

I could finally crash again

And that's how I became the sea

When the sky fell in

(When the sky fell in)

(When the sky fell in)

When the hurricanes came for me

I could finally crash again

And that's how I became the sea

(How I became the sea)

That's how I became the sea

(How I became the sea)

That's how I became the sea

(How I became the sea)

(How I became the sea)

(When the sky fell in)

(When the hurricanes came for me)

(I could finally crash again)

(And that's how I became the sea)

(How I became the sea)
