Hand in hand\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 we walk the path
down to the tranquil sea
Well worn stones\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 lead to the shore
A boat is moored for thee<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As shadows\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 succumb to night
my tears are blinding me
You must leave\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and go alone
across the tranquil sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As dawn breaks\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 at journey\u2019s end
across the tranquil sea
Warming rays\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of newborn day
are hands held out to thee<\/p>\n\n\n\n
