Adrift on the outgoing tide
While I stood on the moonlit sands
Emotions that I couldn’t hide
Streams of tears pouring through my hands
The years we had together were kind
More than that – a fairytale come true
But when nature made up her mind
Instead of me she came and took you
So, with a vow I had promised to keep
Into the ocean your ashes swim free
As the horizon brings on the new day
A man stands alone – that’s me
