Whispered By The Sea

I lay down and watch your footprints from the shade
They trace along the ocean until you fade
And I hold my tongue as I go to call your name
Go live this life as it was made

When I take a moment just to look into your eyes
I watch the stories as they pass by
I see the faces and admire all the distant places
That you have called your home in this sweet life

And now I watch you go, carried by your strong and satisfied soul
Painted by the sun in shades of gold
Your footprints light, as you go on they unite
Writing, our thoughts and our dreams are not so out of sight

Well someday you know, we will come to do the same
And put an end to this old game
So journey on my friend, journey far beyond the seas
And carry on until you please

Chorus:
Lay your hands on slowly down
Your knees now, bending towards the ground
Now hold on closely to what youve found
Before these truths they slowly drown

I lay down and watch you as you go about your day
It seems as though we have lost our way
Fooled by that paper framed up on the wall
As if once its there, well have it all

And now I stand, just an educated fool
As shes buried in the sand this golden rule
She said, my friend, you know, things are not always as they seem
So go on out and live your dreams

Chorus:
Lay your hands on slowly down
Your knees now, bending towards the ground
Now hold on closely to what youve found
Before these truths they slowly drown
