There once was a man

A man by the sea

But no-one could see him but me

But me

00

He looked for a shell

But he could not find

One that could say

What he left behind

00

He let the door close

Behind as he went

To waters unknown

To the place he was sent

00

From there alas

He could not return

To the place he had left

For which he did yearn

00

I wish I could help him

But I cannot

For he chose his path

And then he was caught

00

Caught by his choices

And his alone

He cannot go back

No matter how much he may moan
