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 (go, go, go)
 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 (go, go, go)
 And 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 (go', go', goes)
