La Mer

I lie awake wondering who I am
 My dreams don't seem to make any sense
 Imagination running wild
 It can't satisfy my need
 Oceans taunt me
 I'm a patron to the coast
 Dark seas, cool breeze
 Today the tide is low
 And then suddenly
 A shape has caught my eye
 Calling me
 Could not resist or pass it by
 On the shore I found an answer
 Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure
 I took it home to keep it safe
 Little spiral in my hand
 The stories you can tell
 Never cease to captivate me
 Just a simple shell
 You came out of the sea
 Now you belong to me
 I hold it close
 I know there are many more
 It's like a gallery
 Down on the ocean floor
 Shapes and patterns infinite
 Spelling clues to history
 Swept ashore
 Could not resist or pass it by
 On the shore I found an answer
 Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure
 I took it home to keep it safe
 Little spiral in my hand
 The stories you can tell
 Never cease to captivate me
 Just a simple shell
 You came out of the sea
 Now you belong to me
 Moved by the swells, currents will tell
 Tell us your story
 So many out there, no one just like my
 Immortal coil keep on floating
 On the shore I found an answer
 Buried in the sand, circles filled with treasure
 I took it home to keep it safe
 Little spiral in my hand
 The stories you can tell
 Never cease to captivate me
 Just a simple shell
 You came out of the sea
 Now you belong to me
 I lie awake knowing who I am
 My dreams now seem to make sense again
