Lindisfarne

I walk along the beach, looking in the sand for traces of somebody I used to be.

I look into the east and my eyes are softened by tears 

From the wind that comes singing off the sea.

I know that I've been here before and only the lovers have changed,

But that wasn't me.

That was just the sunshine reflected on the sea.

I sing the tune of time, carve colours with my hand

And spend my years finding love with you.

I light my children's flames and send them through the night

And hope that they will dream the dream anew.

I don’t know where I stand till my hand touches on stone.

Is that really me,

Or the singing of the saints that I'm feeling in my bones ?

I look into the night and voices in my heart tell me of a day when fear is no more.

I'll be a ripple in the sand, a teardrop in the tide of light

That sweeps along the empty shore.

When you walk through the wind blown grass

Listen for my song.

You'll know its me

For I will be the moonlight reflected in the sea.
