lyrics

Tang of Seaweed

Stormy seas
Emotions and complexity
Wish I could go back in time
And see things the way things should be
I’m the one who watches over you
I’m the one who built this house
It’s all too independent, now
May I ask you where I stand?
I’ve been all across this land
The years have brought me all I need
Let’s head to the island, my loved ones
For fresh air with the tang of seaweed

Summertime is nigh
Let us bid our last goodbyes
Our little boat
Is floating restless on the seaside
It’s sealed and ready to sail,
The one my father built so well
The one we sailed in when I asked you for your hand
I’ve been all across this land
The years have brought me all I need
Let’s head to the island, my loved ones
For fresh air with the tang of seaweed

If anyone looks for us
We can leave a note and key
Saying, “Please keep this house
As beautiful as it has been”
Sailing in the wind
We’ll be beautiful again
You’ll never be unhappy
When you’re in my hands
I’ve been all across this land
The years have brought me all I need
Let’s head to the island, my loved ones
For fresh air with the tang of seaweed
