When you left I went to the sea And started walking And walked and walked some more Hoping somehow the sand Giving way beneath my feet Would slowly soak me up And swallow me up whole Made as we are - of so much water Or at the very least draw out And soak up all the pain That in the confines of my body Swims inside my blood And leave me dry and still Upon its surface Upon the beach Wind blown Sun bleached
Even now it's not sunk in
Outside of us both Precious broken love Escapes into the air Meeting reversed I carry on walking And I'm walking on the sand On the sand beside the sea
Naked on the beach Love dies Grain by grain Moment by moment Belief and understanding die also Moment by moment Star by star
