ocean cottage

10 years i've spent here
this cottage by the sea

these 10 years i've spent here
have become a part of me

long i've stood on this shore
the tides come in and out
and so my heartbeat follows:
in and out

the time I have spent on this peninsula
fades away in the ocean mist

I stand in my rickety old cottage
and I watch the sea

this home I have built here
alone, in the fog

this home I will die in
here, in the fog
