Lyrics

I see you in the soft wind
As it brushes by the trees.
Your face gleams in the sunset
As I feel the evening breeze.

My heart aches as I wander
On the paths we used to take.
My brain stirs all the memories
As I lie in bed awake.

I’ve run aground,
My mast is split,
There’s no more angry sea for me.
My rudder’s broke,
I cannot steer,
This rocky shore is where I’ll be.

I miss our conversations,
Our different views on life,
The moment when you answered
And said you’d be my wife.

But when rain pours down the window,
I must turn and look away.
My memory is too painful
Of that black and stormy day.

There are no sounds when cast adrift.
The doldrums put you at their whim.
You wait for winds and waves to come,
But when they do, it’s sink or swim.

I follow in the darkness
The steps you left for me,
Illumined by the moon glow,
In the sand beside the sea.

I find you, gently singing,
On a rock, a lulling song.
You ask me, with a sly grin,
“Why did you take so long?”
