Lyrics

Waltz For Richard

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

On our last trip to the coast

We watched the boats sail the sea

"How effortlessly they float"

You turned and said to me

And sedately I sat there

In my quiet mist of rage

How I wanted to tell you

But I was hushed by my shame

So when the waves come rolling in

Then I won't turn the tide

And in the line of fire

You'll set me aside

So go on Richard let go

And I can still remember

The laughter in a stranger's face

And the way you would tell me

To slow down my pace

See no living is that easy

No living is that fair

Of course I was going to lose you

Were you ever even there?

So when the waves come rolling in

Then I won't turn the tide

And in the line of fire

You'll set me aside

So go on Richard let go
