Auxiliary Voice the great rising tide

when I sat to smoke and kill the time
the pictures on the wall left no place for me to hide
I took a drink in hopes
that memory will leave me
suddenly the wind began to speak
I could hear your voice
I could see you in the dreams
I asked if you would take
a message for me
love wasn't lost
but God I ain't found
I swear that I tried
to love you when you were around
and I still do...
if only I had the courage to speak
when you were here not just a fading dream
still deep within my heart
I know that you still love me
now I stand alone to face the sea
in the night I hear you calling out to me
I promise you that someday
we will be together
I know that your heart is torn
I wish I could promise more
still remember the gift
is the love I gave you
love I gave you...
love wasn't lost
but God I ain't found
I swear that I tried
to love you when you were around
love wasn't lost
but God I ain't found
(I still do)
I swear that I tried
to love you when you were around
love wasn't lost
but God I ain't found
I swear that I tried
to love you when you were around
love wasn't lost
but God I ain't found
(I still do)
I swear that I tried
to love you when you were around
