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.
