Lyrics
The door has been closed, the words have been spoken,
My heart has been lost to despair
Words seem so weak, they don't soften the moment,
I find myself useless and bare.
Here now I stand, naked and tattered
Don't care what morning will bring
Alone at the wheel, my ship has been battered
My eyes cannot focus to see.
I need to rest my body, I need to rest my soul
I need to find a way through this world
I need to find dry land again, lift my heavy load
Need to have my spirit unfurl
To my amazement, I saw her vision
As clear as if she were still here
She scolded my heartache with this admonition
The living have nothing to fear
(Think of the) years we had together, those years we were at sea,
Sailing on waves of our lives
Finding out the answers, of what was meant to be
I'll see you again when it's time
She said, come take my hand and walk through the waters
Then wash away gently your tears
Travel though time, travel through distance,
And think of the memories of years
Come take my hand and walk through the waters
Then wash away gently your tears
Travel though time, travel through distance,
And think of the memories of years
Come take my hand as we walk through the waters
And think of the memories of years
