The air is grey from ocean spray,
I'm walking through your streets.
September morning.
The endless days stretch away
Like the chains that tie the ships
To their moorings
And I miss you,
More each day.
And I love you,
Like words can never say.
The rusting steel and rotten keels,
Of the ancient boats,
Stranded on the shoreline
Reminds me of the way I feel,
After too many days,
Without your sunshine
And I miss you,
More each day.
And I love you,
Like words can never say.
A seagull flies his keening cries
Sounds just like a baby's wailing
As his mother burns the world still turns,
But all the pretty flowers are fading
That I gave you yesterday.
But you threw them all away
Fly away, fly away across the sea
Never say, don't you ever say
That you've forgotten me
Turn a page in the summer haze,
Lying in the sun
The book you're reading
Ten thousand words. like wingless birds
That look on high
And dream of flying
And I miss you,
More each day.
And I love you,
Like words can never say.
Fly away, fly away across the sea
Never say, don't you ever say
That you've forgotten me
An anchor weighs, no one stays
Long enough
To taste the winter
But I will wait though it's getting late
To see your face
One more November
And I miss you,
More each day.
And I love you,
Like words can never say.
Like words can never say.
