Blue glass and the bowl of sea shells bring
Memories of Dunwich and the sand
Where the marble of drowned churches rightly sings
Bell towers sound like underwater gongs
Struck by sailors lost, with sea soaked hands
Blue glass and the bowl of sea shells ring
In the sky the gulls spread pure white wings
They live in air, on sea, and on the land
While the marble of drowned churches softly sings
I found your photo on the shore sea-rinsed
In Whitby I could almost understand
How blue glass and the bowl of sea shells ring
The sand from Yorkshire’s caught by great sea winds
Moved to Norfolk, where the shore expands
As the choir of long drowned sailors softly sings
I’ll come by land, by air,by sea, by song
To find my love,my heart has been well wrung
Blue glass and the bowl of sea shells hint
At the marble of drowned churches as they sing
