Bay

For so long I waited by the bay for you to come home The days were short, the nights were long So lonesome the drifting years apart I remember your face, you waved goodbye and sailed away

This bay is us you said the night we met It was our beginning and our end The worry of life unlived, no wind in my sail The children are grown, they to sailed away

I watch our sunset every night, I see you smiling in the distance So close to home, yet so far, we survived most storms Our last goodbye, a child unborn This bay is us you said that night

This story told to me so long ago Mother too has sailed away My only hope and dream, to know this bay To know such love The wind in my sail with salt on my lips So grand my life you left me

The bay of life, the beauty of its tides I’ve come and gone I follow your stars to find my home I talk to this bay, our story Of the bay that gives us life
