about

Early live recording of "On the Shore"

lyrics

As the currents bring us where the river flows
And I leave behind a land I used to know
I remember you, though I don't want to
I would rather close my eyes and let you go

Sky turned black, and the waves crashed
Overboard, I was thrown into the sea
Don't look back, on the shore we spoke
Of things much too wonderful for me
Much too wonderful for me

As I lay here on the water for a time
I can hear your voice as clear as it were mine
Tried to run and hide, run from truth, from life
But wherever I am, you are on my mind

Sky turned black, and the waves crashed
Overboard, I was thrown into the sea
Don't look back, in the hurricane we spoke
Of things too wonderful for me
Things too wonderful for me

Upon the sea, a calm descends
From beneath, the ocean sends
A last attempt
To bring this to an end

A shadow that has followed me
With jaws of death now swallows me
And down we go
To cold heart below

This living tomb, that dives and twists
And races for the great abyss
Where all is lost
The last line crossed

Against all hope, a mystery
That now I find you here with me
Your eyes so bright
As though in dead of night...

Love was dreaming of the day
