Seaside Haiku

Laura Veirs

Compositor: Laura Veirs

Somewhere beyond
These cold winds from Japan
Vermillion suns
Churn the black and gold sand
I drop my glove
And it rolls in the waves
I'll give a lot
But not too much away

Ah, ah, ah, ah

In a yellow coat
She scoops up the sky
Five seagulls laugh
At her flying green kite
She's been burned, too
So she understands
She'll give a lot
But not all that she can

Ah, ah, ah, ah

I thought loneliness my lot, it's true
I walk the beach alone, I'm not blue
Blue is the sky and the fiery flame
I've learned from pain

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much

Give but don't give too much
Of yourself away
Give but don't give too much
