Hand in hand we walk the path
down to the tranquil sea
Well worn stones lead to the shore
A boat is moored for thee
As shadows succumb to night
my tears are blinding me
You must leave and go alone
across the tranquil sea
As dawn breaks at journey’s end
across the tranquil sea
Warming rays of newborn day
are hands held out to thee
