First Line: We used to walk the wave-washed shore
Last Line: Is always there for me!
Subject(s): Harbors; Sea; Waves; Ocean
We used to walk the wave-washed shore
Together, you and I,
To watch the silver clouds that seemed
Like sailboats in the sky;
We looked far down a beach of gold
To where each city spire
A shaft of black was painted on
A canopy of fire.
Then suddenly one day I found
That you had gone away
And left behind the white-capped waves
To sweep an angry bay;
Now as I walk alone toward town
Beside a sullen sea,
A lonely harbor I will find
Is always there for me!
