Whiter Sands

Whiter Sands

The waves that collide by the oceans great side

Reminds me of the day when time did not die

And the sand that sparkles whiter than snow

Brings to mind of a time when you did not have to know

We would stroll through the lane beneath poplar and oak

And when the occasion would call I’d light up a smoke

You would trek over mountains, I over hills

And the wolves out at night would give us the chills

And we’d sit out night and gaze up at the stars

Together we cherished the love that was ours

And the fire burns low and the embers would hiss

I would lean over and give you a kiss

And the moon would shine bright as our heads would droop low

And you’d wake up once or twice as the ravens would crow

And the owls would hoot as the fox would draw near

It would wink at us both and you’d shed a tear

But then they came from afar on that fateful day

With their swords and their drums looking for play

They stumbled across our roundabout place

Alas I could not save you for there were ten in my face

Take you they did in a chain made of steel

And through all of the pain it just didn’t seem real

And so I set out with my sword at my side

And took the best horse on which I could ride

Over mountain and stream, forest and brook

Through rocky terrain and through caves did I look

High and low I wandered for you

For without you at my side I knew not what to do

Many years passed as I sank in despair

Till at last came the day when I just did not care

So over the mountains I walked once again

Through the forests and streams where you could have been

I ran and I walked past the brook and the plane

And I would not stop even when it would rain

And at last as I stand by the oceans great shore

I long for a chance to be together once more

But as I stand, and the great waves collide

I can do nothing to cry to be at your side
