Down by the sunless sea,
The waves do seem to smite
The shore that could never be,
And a beach that could never fight.
Down by the sunless sea,
The water seems to fall
Freely, as you can see,
Taking the souls of all.
Down by the sunless sea,
The sand does serenade
The drops that touch thee,
With every passing day.
Down by the sunless sea,
There's a light that's never been.
A shine that never saw you, or me.
A glim, much too thin.
Down by the sunless sea,
I watch in true awe.
The shimmering view never seen,
An ocean never saw.
Down by the sunless sea,
I sit in its shade
Admiring all that could be
Before it starts to fade.
