You can see in the 1st light that's graced as dawn

that there's nothing in my heart but pain

as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone

all the elements rage to explain

that I should really be on my way;

but there is something

which ensures I must stay.



Beneath the roar of the seething surf,

beneath the caterwaul of scattered call wind

thoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard--

and now the dance of rapture begins

as the waves rush along across the beach:

like you, like your love

forever out of reach.



Look at the sky, but it's empty now;

look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair.

I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower...

I look to my side, but you're not there.

And I can't get you out of my mind,

no, no, no, no, I just can't get you from my mind.
