Lyrics Seahorse - Jonathan Coulton

Seahorse

He made his way
And hoped someday
He’d find someone to love
He sees a girl
Her tail is curled
He swims across 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
But 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 helped 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
