The river flows on silently,
Onward to the sea,
The way is soft and silent,
And there’s where I long to be.

Through the mist I wonder,
Like one who can not see,
Like a silent shadow,
I’m looking for the sea.

There used to be a path,
The way is lost to me,
Will I ever find it?
The way back to the sea.

As dawn turns to day,
I still long for the sea,
Some day I’ll find my way,
The way back to the sea.
