When the Tide is Low

It feels lonely. I am just a grain of sand in the shores of life.

When the Tide is Low

The bright light of the moon lights my face
as I walk the distant shores of my mind
traces of the good times passes by, I smile
memories of better days already gone by...

Wave after wave I'm refreshed then left to dry
as the sands of time runs out..there is still time?
Time to remember who I am and forget who I was?
To know where I'm going to and from where I came?

But when the tide is low
horizon seems further away
the heavens turns to gray
good memories fade away

On this moonless night the waves sound far away
The loneliness of this abandoned shore hurts the soul
The song of the sirens went away with the moon
All I hear now is the distant mumble of a sea I love

Once I was on deep water feeling fresh and caressed
and a storm in my life threw me here to the shore
Is good to be close to the water for I can get cleansed
I wish some way I could go back to your depths again

Please submerge me again in your pure waters
caress me again with your waves of eternal love
Receive me back deep inside your spirit, forgive me
Once I've returned will hold tight to never turn back

I will see all the colors of your wonderful realm
I will travel with your marvelous creatures
Will see the sun from underneath your immensity
and remain forever within your depths of love

Cause when the tide is low
horizon seems further away
the heavens turns to gray
good memories fade away
