The Twinkling Tide

Waves surge, sweeping the sandy shore

Before they wash back out to sea

To break across the coast once more

This is the song of century

On century,

On century

But this is not

Eternity

Ocean's perpetual ebb and flow

Rises and falls incessantly 

As generations come and go

Still plays its haunting melody

From century

To century

But this is not

Eternity
