I walked on the beach smoking pipedreams
Waiting for some word from you
Waves crashed on the sand around my feet
And gray clouds hovered in view
And day turned into night…
While you traveled were you thinking
That my love would last?
All the while my hopes were sinking
Anchored by the past
Anchored by the past
When you finally sailed your boat in
Flinging your net on the beach
I was already gone, it was cold out
And you’d been too long out of reach –
Lover of my dreams…
All those days of useless waiting
All the tears I cried
Now they’re only memories fading
Washed out with the tide…
Shells, washed out with the tide
