i'm off to sea

i'm off to sea
in seven weeks
i'll love you now
but when i'm gone
forget me then
and please move on

i'm off to sea
in seven weeks
to search for gold
and for grace
and if a find
a better place
i'm sure to stay
so please don't wait

i'm off to sea
in seven weeks
and when i'm home
be sure to find
a better me
for than i'll have found
life's true meaning

i'm off for land
come tomorrow
i've found the meaning
and the meaning is this
i'll teach you it
but you'll forget
when there is no sand
and there is no wet that
lifes an ocean
so you should sail it.
