Two nuns on the sea shore
Stand apart from one another –
Black wood posts
Mesmerised by the sea god
Mesmerised by the sea god
One nun with human failings
And weary legs
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
A golden stripe appears
On the western horizon –
A golden stripe appears:
A signal from the sea god
That he understands tiredness
One staunch sister
Stays standing
One staunch sister
Stays standing
And the sun sets
And the sun
Sets
Stand apart from one another –
Black wood posts
Mesmerised by the sea god
Mesmerised by the sea god
One nun with human failings
And weary legs
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
Sinks to the sand
And sits like a child
A golden stripe appears
On the western horizon –
A golden stripe appears:
A signal from the sea god
That he understands tiredness
One staunch sister
Stays standing
One staunch sister
Stays standing
And the sun sets
And the sun
Sets
