lyrics

Old sea walls start to blur in the spray
Fog and rain, a composite of gray
That shelters my heart and cradles my hand
And leads me through my day

Thoughts adrift to my love gone before
When years ago she had crossed to your shore
With her heart in her hand and her feet in the sand
Lost to me, she knew her way

Dancing her way through the clouds
Racing over the land
Finding rest in the sea
Rising again in the night
Just to swim with the stars
In a blanket of green
I'm tracing her path through the town
To the top of the hill
Where I thought she might be
But the faintest shade of her is all I can see

Old worn hands carry ache through the day
A weary smile that is framed by my grays
I'm treading the sand to the end of the strand
And clothed in gentle spray

Thoughts adrift and I'm bound for your shore
To greet my love as I once had before
With my heart in her hand and our feet in the sand
She'll help me on my way

Will she remember my smile?
Will she remember my voice?
Will she know her old name?
And what if she does,
Will it matter at all if I find that I can't say the same?

Dancing her way through the clouds
Racing over the land
Finding rest in the sea
Rising again in the night
Just to swim with the stars
In a blanket of green
I'm tracing her path through the town
To the top of the hill
Where I thought she might be
But the faintest shade of her is all I can see
