Tonight I heard you crying on the beach

Beyond my reach
 

Oh, far out on the deep there are waves that never touch a beach

And words—that will never surface into speech
 

Brightly rests the moonlight on the sea

The ever restless sea

And I stand and wait for daylight

On this sand so hard and wide

But I’d gladly brave the ocean’s might

To feel you by my side

CHORUS

Gone—there isn’t a gleam of you

Gone—I can only dream of you

Faces—come in the night to me

Asking —will you fight for me?

The shadows know my face, they urge me on

Why wait for dawn?

And feelings long submerged, in the darkness of a slowly ebbing sea

Reach out—and take control of me

Brightly shines the moonlight down on me

On ever reckless me

This is not a waiting game I play

Or time to court regret

I’ll find a way, I’ll make a way

The nights not over yet

CHORUS

Gone—there isn’t a gleam of you

Gone—I can only dream of you

Faces—come in the night to me

Asking —will you fight for me?
