Starfish, starfish...
Sprinkled with sand.
I can feel how you breathe --
when I hold you in my hand.
Do you wait for a mermaid, who has secrets to share?
The next time she comes,
can I be there?
Seagull, seagull...
See how you soar!
How you danced with the wind!
How you curtsied to the shore!
Are you off to a somewhere -- where all wishes come true?
The next time you go,
can I come too?
Pebble, pebble...
Brave little stone!
Is it warm in the sun?
Is it fun to sit alone?
Did the tide make a promise, that you'd ride out to sea?
The next time you go -- take me.
Take me...
