Never Seen the Sea - Gavin Clark

An iron sun sinks

Leaving this bay

Behind bridges of silence

Below saints

A creature of dry land

A gale around me

The son of a searcher

He’s never seen the sea

Nurseling beauty

How far can you crawl

God knows I love you

You are an original

I came without reason

So bitter, so free

You were born by the river

But you’ve never seen the sea

I stood at your tombstone

I felt alive

A vision between us

A sun in the sky

I weighed up your madness

In scales of degree

You lived your whole life

But you never saw the sea

You never saw the sea
