Memory of Your Shores

Smoke fills the sky
Another day in a new town for me
I look for the light
Under the clouds, beyond the concrete
Up here I hide
Watching the crowds move along
Down those grey streets, I am lost here
In my dreams all alone, I still
Go back, in the memory of your shores
Left you there waiting so long ago
Go back, in the memory of my home
Anticipating one day you’ll follow
Oh, it’s been too long
Since I could see the stars overhead
We used to count them
Shared all our passions, and swore not to tell
I hold them now
And now I know where those stars fell
Days would fly by when you were mine
Like these dreams I have known, I still
Go back, in the memory of your shores
Left you there waiting so long ago
Right there, in the memory of my home
Anticipating one day you’ll follow
One day you’ll follow
I’ll be here waiting for you
