Down by the sea -
You and me.
Listening to gulls cry -
Watching waves birth and die.
There is no Meaning here,
But Reality is near.

Back in Reality -
You and me.
Listening to bums cry -
Watching cities birth and die.
There is no Peace here -
And Oblivion is near.

Out in Oblivion -
Me and no one.
Listening to ghosts cry -
Watching worlds birth and die.
There is no Life here -
But Rebirth is near.

Back by the Sea -
You and me.
Listening to gulls cry -
Watching waves birth and die.
There is Reality near -
And the Cycle is here.
