I still remember the olden days
How we walked those timeworn ways
The feeling of being unbroken
Swallowed whole by Father Time, unspoken
Emptiness bites with every dawn
I only wish to forget you're gone
The path we dreamed now overgrown
Since the day you left, I walk alone
Memories still bleed in me
When I hear those songs of reverie
I waited for you through endless years
Like sailors wait for wind to clear
Six decades have passed since you left these shores
My youth is gone but love endures
And still I gaze upon the sea
This breathing silence devours me
This hatred drags me far below
Into a song the stars don't know
And if I could and if I dared
I'd gather all the beauty we once shared
But even the tears of this broken world
Could never speak the love I held
Memories still bleed in me
When I hear those songs of reverie
I waited for you through endless years
Like sailors wait for wind to clear
Six decades have passed since you left these shores
My youth is gone but love endures
I'd give all if you were near
Just a moment of eternity here
To follow your trail into the dusk
I'd give all, all I have, if you were near
I'm looking for birds in the night
Where we stole a glow
Under the whistle of the dawn
Where have you been?
As I had my hardest time
Six decades have passed
Be my shelter again
Be my haven again
Be my hope again
Be my home again
I waited for you through endless years
Like sailors wait for wind to clear
Six decades have passed since you left these shores
My youth is gone but my love endures eternally
I waited for you
Six decades have passed
Since you left these shores
