On a rainy day in the middle of july
I figured I could write about a lie
I once got told when I was a kid
So basically if you would spit
Into water of any kind
Whatever rivers you could find
Then that would be
Your greetings to the sea

It's taken me many years to admit
That that ritual is bullshit
Because Oh Well you see
All rivers flow into the sea
But why would the sea
Ever be happy
About spit
From a kid?
Does the ocean
Just like the devotion
That comes with it?
With the spit?

Anyway I've grown up now
And I have grown quite a lot
But sometimes at a shore
You'll find me
Still sending my greetings
To the sea
