Bereft of soul	A
My body shall be bare	B
Bereft of body	C
My soul shall be bare	B
Which would you rather have	D
O kind sea	C
Which is the more dead	E
Of the two	F
I throw the bodies out	G
I cannot stand their smell	H
Only the souls may enter	I
The vortex of sea	C
Only the souls know how to sing	J
At the vortex of the sea	C
Your body shall be dead	E
Poor thing	J
Dead as driftwood drifting	J
And drifting to the shore	K
Your body shall ride the tide	L
Rider slumped dead	E
On white war house	M
Charging	J
Your body shall bruise white	N
Against the coral reefs	O
Your body	C
Your lonely body	C
I tell you sea	C
I have enough courage to die	P
But not enough	Q
Not enough to disobey him	R
Who said Do not die	P
And hurt me that certain way	S
How easy your duties are	T
How simple	U
Only roar a hungry roar	K
Leao forward	V
And retreat	W
You swing and you swing	J
O sea you play a child's game	X
But	Y
I must pose	Z
I must pretend	A2
I must act the role	A
Of happy woman	B2
Happy wife	C2
I must keep the right distance	D2
Between me and the low	E2
And I must keep the right distance	D2
Between me and the high	P
O sea i am fed up	F2
I want to be simple	U
I want to be loved	G2
And	H2
If love is not to be had	I2
I want to be dead just dead	E
While I enter deeper	I
With joy I discover	I
The sea's hostile cold	J2
Is after all skin deep	K2
The sea's inner chambers	L2
Are all very warm	M2
There must be a sun slumbering	J
At the vortex of the sea	C
O sea i am happy swimming	J
Happy happy happy	C
The only movement i know well	H
Is certainly the swim	R
It comes naturally to me	C
I had a house a Malabar	I
And a pale green pond	N2
I did all my growing there	I
In the bright summer months	O2
I swam about and floated	P2
And divided into the cold and green	Q2
I lay speckled green and gold	J2
In all the hours of the sun	B2
Until	R2
My grandmother cried	L
Darling you must stop this bathing now	S2
You are much too big to play	S
Naked in the pond	N2
Yes the only movement i really know	E2
Is swimming	J
It comes naturally to me	C
The white man who offers	L2
To help me forget	T2
The white man who offers	L2
Himself as a stiff drink	U2
Is for me	C
To tell the truth	V2
Only water	I
Only a pale green pond	N2
Glimmering in the sun	B2
In him I swim	R
All broken with longing	J
In his robust blood i float	W2
Drying off my tears	X2
Yet i never can forget	T2
The only man who hurts	Y2
The only one who seems to know	E2
The only way to hurt	Z2
Holding you is easy	C
Clutching at moving water	I
I tell you sea	C
This is easy	C
But to hold him for half a day	S
Was a difficult task	A3
It required drinks	B3
To hold him down	C3
To make him love	D3
But when he did not love	D3
Believe me	C
All I could do was to sob like a fool	E3
O sea	C
You generous cow	S2
You and I are big flops	F3
We are too sentimental	U
For our own	G3
Good	H3
Lights are moving on the shore	I
But I shall not return	I3
Sea toss my body back	J3
That he knew how to love	D3
Bereft of body	C
My soul shall be free	C
Take in my naked soul	A
That he knew how to hurt	Z2
Only the soul knows how to sing	J
At the vortex of the sea	C
