Lyrics Maggie & Millie & Mollie & May

Maggie and Millie and Mollie and May
went down to the beach
to play one day

and Maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couldn’t remember her troubles
and

Milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays five languid fingers were

and Molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles
and

May came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone

For whatever we lose
like a you or a me
It’s always ourselves we find in the sea
