The air is grey from ocean spray
I’m walking through your streets
September morning
The endless days stretch away
Like the chains that tie the ships
To their moorings
And I miss you
More each day
And I love you
Like words can never say
The rusting steel and rotten keels
Of the ancient boats
Stranded on the shoreline
Reminds me of the way I feel
After too many days
Without your sunshine
And I miss you
More each day
And I love you
Like words can never say
A seagull flies his keening cries
Sounds just like a baby’s wailing
As his mother burns the world still turns
But all the pretty flowers are fading
That I gave you yesterday
But you threw them all away
Fly away, fly away across the sea
Never say, don’t you ever say
That you’ve forgotten me
Turn a page in the summer haze
Lying in the sun
The book you’re reading
Ten thousand words. like wingless birds
That look on high
And dream of flying
And I miss you
More each day
And I love you
Like words can never say
Fly away, fly away across the sea
Never say, don’t you ever say
That you’ve forgotten me
An anchor weighs, no one stays
Long enough
To taste the winter
But I will wait though it’s getting late
To see your face
One more November
And I miss you
More each day
And I love you
Like words can never say
Like words can never say
