At home together

I always wished to live right by the sea
no bustle, just a simple life in which I bide
my time, but no one ever invited me
so I stayed at home and watched the tide
because I like	the quiet way
contented with	the present day
It's still okay	although I may
decide to venture	the life-in-spe
I fantasise	as in a play
my sweet delay	my sweet delay
Houses by the sea are costly or too small
very draughty through the chinks and cracking joints
old and eaten by the frequent salty squall
that licks the planks with hungry humid tongues
Because I like	the quiet way
contented with	the present day
It's still okay	although I may
decide to venture	the life-in-spe
I fantasise	as in a play
my sweet delay	my sweet delay
Would anyone want to be here, live with me
a simple life, no bustle, just the two
of us, at home together, being free?
Just someone to show my love to?
Because I like	the quiet way
contented with	the present day
It's still okay	although I may
decide to venture	the life-in-spe
I fantasise	as in a play
my sweet delay	my sweet delay
