Sea nomad -- Ludwig O'Neill © 2006 ludwigsongs

I am a sea nomad... it's true
I love the surf, the spray and you
I love the way it wets your skin
I yearn to watch when you dive in

The surf that breaks the lonely strand
Incoming tide scars virgin sand
stars shine on a midnight swim
naked as we're plunging in
naked as we're plunging in


I am a sea nomad... I know
In dreams my favoured place to go
The wettest, wildest passion thrill
Intense excitement can instil

Standing tall atop a wave
king of all so proud and brave
as wipe-out tumble crashes down
I dive to capture back my crown
I dive to capture back my crown

How I love the raging sea... waves crashing over me

I am a sea nomad... I fear
Deepened with each passing year
Flowing as each ebbing tide
By waning moon is drawn aside

With held hands running to the foam
We offer up to Neptune's home
Our bodies as we splash and play
Caressing, ebbing, loving spray
Caressing, ebbing, loving spray


I am a sea nomad... that's right
I leap from pier in dead of night
Cooling skin my body floats
among the plethora of boats

I offer up my worldly woes
As ripples wet my paddling toes
water, wind, salt and you
I am a sea nomad... it's true
I am a sea nomad... it's true

Great tune, Ludwig. I'd first come across it a while back, but then lost the link to it. I'd been searching for it for about a month without luck. Great to hear it again, it's like finding a long lost friend again.

Great performance. Great feel. for non native speakers it would be great to have the lyrics under "about this video".
