Blue Between the Waves

Beyond the shore, the sky goes wide,

The wind blows low, the water breathes.

An old boat leans into the tide,

Then fades away between the reefs.

The sea still holds your face,

Long after you were gone.

The clouds let go a broken light,

It runs like silver through the blue.

And somewhere far beyond my sight,

The water turns to look like you.

The sea still holds your face,

Long after you were gone.

The waves come closer, one by one,

They carry pieces of the sky.

And in the shimmer of the sun,

I feel you slowly passing by.

The sea still holds your face,

Long after you were gone.

What I lost comes back to me,

Not as a voice, not as a sign.

The sea remembers more of you

Than I could ever hold inside.
