Seahorse

He makes his way

And hopes someday

He'll find someone to love

He sees a girl

Her tail is curled

He swims up close to her

But he's a seahorse of course

Surely he knows

When you're a seahorse of course

That's how it goes

They meet, they mate

And things are great

But only for a while

He wakes at dawn

He sees she's gone

Somehow he's not surprised

Cause he's a seahorse of course

Surely he knows

When you're a seahorse of course

That's how it goes

And the waves above go up and down

The big fish circle all around

It's hard and cold and dark and mean

And he's so very small

Alone, afraid

His plans unmade

He helps his young survive

He makes his way

And hopes someday

He'll find someone to love

But he's a seahorse of course

Surely he knows

When you're a seahorse of course

That's how it goes
