Doctor, daughter, neighbour, son
Everyone had told her that she's too old
And the sea too cold
I slept at someone else's place
When somebody called and said:
“Today she pa**ed away.”
I still know how she feared to die
The first time in her life she had the flu
She was eighty-two
But that old girl knew it well:
The sun, the air, the water of the sea
Was all she'd need
The North Sea was all she'd need
But what a sweet d**h – she took one deep breath
And all her pain and all her waiting was forgotten
By the time my dear went away from here
All she saw and all she smelled, all she found and all she felt
Was her beloved water
