Whispered By The Sea

I lay down and watch your footprints from the shade

They trace along the ocean until you fade

And I hold my tongue as I go to call your name

Go live this life as it was made

When I take a moment just to look into your eyes

I watch the stories as they pass by

I see the faces and admire all the distant places

That you have called your home in this sweet life

And now I watch you go, carried by your strong and satisfied soul

Painted by the sun in shades of gold

Your footprints light, as you go on they unite

Writing, "our thoughts and our dreams are not so out of sight"

Well someday you know, we will come to do the same

And put an end to this old game

So journey on my friend, journey far beyond the seas

And carry on until you please

Chorus:

Lay your hands on slowly down

Your knees now, bending towards the ground

Now hold on closely to what you've found

Before these truths they slowly drown

I lay down and watch you as you go about your day

It seems as though we have lost our way

Fooled by that paper framed up on the wall

As if once it's there, we'll have it all

And now I stand, just an educated fool

As she's buried in the sand this golden rule

She said, "my friend, you know, things are not always as they seem

So go on out and live your dreams"

Chorus:

Lay your hands on slowly down

Your knees now, bending towards the ground

Now hold on closely to what you've found

Before these truths they slowly drown
