lyrics
Do you see the sea glass
Color of the green grass
Pick it up
Put it in your hand
Think about its past
Well, did it come from Morocco?
Was it part of a bottle?
Or a jug, or a jar
That carried water far
Across the land
Across the sand
And now across the ocean too
That little piece of bottle
Found its way to you
Sea glass, sea glass
Oh oh
Sea glass, sea glass
Wa oh oh oh oh
Well, I was walking down the coastline
Taking my sweet time
Seaweed, sea star, seagulls, sunshine,
And then I saw a little twinkle
Down among the periwinkle
And I went down to inspect it
The sea glass I collect it
And I found a little treasure
With a beauty beyond measure
It was pretty like a locket
So I put it in my pocket
And there’s another piece over there, look at that!
I found a purple one
I found a blue one
I found a brown one
And I found this clear piece of sea glass, too
Chorus
Oh, sea glass have you seen the seven seas
Have you seen a pirate ship
Or a giant squid
Or manatees
Have you been gone a little while
Or centuries
Through brine and the sand
And you’re here in my hand
Now that you’ve found your way to me
Chorus
Well the ocean moved it
And currents smoothed it
The sharp edges were rounded
And then you found it
Oh, sea glass
Color of the green grass
Pick it up
Put it in your hand
Think about its past
Well, did it come from Morocco?
Was it part of a bottle?
Or a jug, or a jar
That carried water far
Across the land
Across the sand
And now across the ocean too
That little piece of bottle
Found its way to you
Sea glass, sea glass
Oh oh
Sea glass, sea glass
Wa oh oh oh oh
Well, I was walking down the coastline
Taking my sweet time
Seaweed, sea star, seagulls, sunshine,
And then I saw a little twinkle
Down among the periwinkle
And I went down to inspect it
The sea glass I collect it
And I found a little treasure
With a beauty beyond measure
It was pretty like a locket
So I put it in my pocket
And there’s another piece over there, look at that!
I found a purple one
I found a blue one
I found a brown one
And I found this clear piece of sea glass, too
Chorus
Oh, sea glass have you seen the seven seas
Have you seen a pirate ship
Or a giant squid
Or manatees
Have you been gone a little while
Or centuries
Through brine and the sand
And you’re here in my hand
Now that you’ve found your way to me
Chorus
Well the ocean moved it
And currents smoothed it
The sharp edges were rounded
And then you found it
Oh, sea glass
