See the Sea Birds Float
I can hear its bell announcing
That I'm coming home once more
As its eager wheels are turning
And its whistle toots a tray song
It seems glad that I'm returning
To the sea where I belong
Since the wayward foolish notion
Sent me on my lonely journey
How I miss the rolling ocean
Oh, its voice has called to me
Ah, but my empty days are ending
With each mile we put behind us
As my little friend goes wending
Toward the place where I was born
See the Sea Birds Float
On the silver wind so high
And the line of snowy clouds
On parades across the sky
See the way the boats
Knot their sails above the sea
Through the window of the train
The ocean waves to me
See the Sea Birds Float
On the silver wind so high
And the line of snowy clouds
On parades across the sky
See the way the boats
Knot their sails above the sea
Through the window of the train
The ocean waves to me
There is someone who'll be waiting
When I reach the village station
With her eyes anticipating
Wondering whether I have changed
And the moment of our greeting
Will be shy and so uncertain
As we were at strangers' meeting
In some unfamiliar place
Ah, but then, a moment after
It will be the way it once was
I will hear her lovely laughter
And she will ask me
To rush into my arms
And so my little train goes bouncing
To my village by the seashore
With its happy bell announcing
That I'll soon be home once more
Hurry, little train
On your funny crooked track
Carry me down to the sea
That has always called me back
Hurry to my love
With her eyes of ocean blue
Hurry, hurry, little train
Our trip's almost through
But when I realize
They will say, I'll catch you




All of myself
