Now is the time to tell you a story
Of friendship, love and loss so lonely
I left those shores where we once found glory
In the laughter that masked our fears
We were young and dreams ran deep
Building castles where oceans sleep
Our footprints marked the shifting land
With hearts unburdened, hand in hand
But fate with claws both cruel and grand
Tore me away from where you stand
And time with teeth of slow decay
Left only echoes and dreams turned grey
Don't worry too much when I'm not near your side
Someday I promise all shall return in time's tide
By the shore where the breakers scream
You stand alone, chasing a dream
A sailor lost in yearning's flame
In solitude, whispering my name
I watch unseen, in silence dwell
Your sorrow a frost, an endless spell
At these crossroads without encounter I wait
Six decades drifted through voiceless air
Since the day I vanished, unaware
Left you stranded in twilight's womb
As the sea became both cradle and tomb
Now I wander where shadows call
Bound to your soul through rise and fall
Your sorrow grows, a sacred blight
In this cursed eternal night
And here you stand now
On those shores from which I'm gone
Staring out to sea
Believing I moved on
Loneliness your only kin
Depression where your prayers begin
My suicide sealed both our fates
A curse bound tight through sorrow's gates
The letters I wrote
Never touched your hand
Ink stained by waves, lost in sand
The shore remains both grave and shrine
Witness to your wordless cries
In the dark I'm still by your side
A life unlived, dreams forsaken
In every wave I see your tears
In the storm your voice is shaken
Haunting me across the years
The cruel passage of each morrow
And the coldness of the sand
I left those shores so suddenly
But in death I am forever with you
I'm forever with you
I'm forever with you
I'm forever with you
I'm forever with you
