Intro

Yesterday we thought that our love was dying;
Seemed that we laughed much less than we were crying;
We’ve had the pain,
Now is love returning
To break that old chain?
Oh, tell me,
I feel the same
But is there a flame
In your heart too, still burning?

[Can our desire
Rekindle its fire
With love alone?
Do you remember
Love as an ember
Or a gravestone?]

This love tonight
Can it stay alight
For evermore?
Look at the sky
And ask just how high
Your dreams can soar.

[Summers of love
And some dreams we wove
Came true,
And we slept on;
Now we are failing--
Then we were sailing
Stormy seas, but we kept on.

Summers of love
And some dreams we wove
Came true
(Who was counting?)
Now we are failing--
Then we were sailing
Onward, not drowning.

When we had love
That dreams that we wove
Came true
Without trying
Now we are failing--
Then we were sailing
Under blue skies, not sinking.

Surf on the tide
Like lace for a bride
Who walks on the sand
Waves of the ocean
Waves of emotion
And my life's the strand]

Surf on the tide
Like lace for a bride
Waiting there, lonely singer,
Now as before
We’re on the same shore
So why do you still linger?

Remember love
Like flying above
The clouds in the sunlight,
Over the rain
No fear and no pain
'Cause this time everything’s done right.

I want to know
If that golden glow
Is our sun going down
Or will it rise
And end all our sighs
And sorrow leave town?

[We're going to fly
Kilometres high
If you’ll take my hand
But if the weight
Of grief is too great
I’ll understand.]

BRIDGE
On that beach under the stars
With the songs and guitars,
The night was warm
So that we never dreamt of any storm,
But it came,
Lightning flame,
Years of nightmare weather--
But we could wake up now together.
