The Shore.

I long to go down to the shore again

Where salt perfumes the air

Where I had a perfect March day,

I'm sure I left half of it there.


Bright, the bonfire burned

Pale, the moonlight turned

The sea was a silver plain.

I long to go down to the shore once more

And find that day again.


I long to go down to the shore again,

Lest I forget those angry skies

When the tranquil blue

Turned a dark hue,

Like shadows in one's eyes.


The salty spray

The warm day

Left me savoring your skin.

So I long to go down to the shore once more

When the summer months roll in.


I long to go down to the shore again,

I have been separated from it too long.

My arms grow pale,

My thoughts grow stale,

And I can no longer recall

The song we sang by the quiet bay

On our blanket on the sand.

I miss the comforting heat

On my cold, bare feet

Like the soft touch of your hand.

I long to go down to the shore again,

I will not forget the touch

Of the sweet, warm breeze

Of the azure, southern seas

That loss would be too much.

My eyes have forgotten the fleeting shade

When the last crimson rays of the sun fade

On the ocean.


I long to go down to the shore again

before my heart forgets.
