By the Rocks Down at Crystal Cove

By the rocks, down at Crystal Cove

Where salty crustaceans meander cross rows

Of brown and green seaweed all covered in foam

Two rag-tag sailors did happen to roam

Fresh back from a journey and on their way home

By the rocks, down at Crystal Cove

The sea to their backs, these companions did gaze

To the untold horizon still thick in the haze

A new journey ahead, a trip thru life's maze

They say their farewells, goodbye till the day

They would meet again with their fortunes to show

By the rocks, down at Crystal Cove

Years had gone by, twenty or more

The two found themselves on a familiar shore

Comparing their scars and recounting old lore

When they found an old skiff with splintering oars

They pushed into the sea and started to row

From the rocks, down at Crystal Cove

The rocks, the cove, the whole world shrank

A red sun on the western horizon sank

The wise, salty pirates sang shanties and drank

Rhyming about mermaids and a walk off a plank

Betwixt ocean and stars still do they rove

And some nights, you may hear them 

By the rocks, down at Crystal Cove
