Going To Sea

My name is Ami,
I’m going to sea,
No one else can come with me.
I don’t like the land,
I do love walking ashore,
But that was all from before.
I farewell my family,
Then there I head out,
Then I can let my spirit roam about.
And as I come in,
I farewell my days at sea,
With my family is where I want to be.
