The ocean will let you wade in

To her and swim in her and ride

Her mighty waves back to the shore.

The ocean will let you go away,

Or sit up on the sand out of her reach,

And never ask for anything more

Of you, even that you remember her

Or return to her forevermore.

And she might allow a god to part her waters,

And she might allow an army of people through,

But the waters will not stay parted there forever,

For she will never quit being the ocean,

And she will never forget you,

And you will never forget her.
