lyrics

Look, there’s the place
where we lay in the dark
catching shooting stars
They helped light a way
through some dreich
worn out days
when our boats had drifted far apart

But hey,
it’s been a long time
since I lay here by your side
Oh and hey,
it takes a long time
to cross this ocean wide

Walk south to the beach
where you carried me
across the stones to the sea
Imagine it now
a picture on a wall
oh, would you still carry me?

Oh cause hey,
it’s been a long time
since we walked along the sand
Oh and hey,
it took a long time
to get my feet back on solid land

Let’s stop at the house
where I welcomed you home
now someone else lays the fire
I watch those coal flames grow
till the dying embers glowed
looking back I said goodbye

hey,
if I take my time
on this salt water path
I pray I see
a way toward love
away from the ache of memory
