Until I'm With You

Tonight the water’s calm
And the boats have all moved on
But I’m restless, for I long to be near you
There’ll be silence now till dawn
But my soul still fights the storm
For I know that I belong there beside you
I’m older now and times have changed
I look upon those carefree days
Often dreamt how life would be
With plans that you were there with me
But the road’s now overgrown
To the cove that once was home
For I feel too much alone there without you
And the nets on the stone floor
Still remind me of the call
From the battered harbour wall
I cry out for you
Until I’m with you
It was hard to face the change
When the working boats were chained
And the gulls that screamed your name
Disappeared too
As I wander past the gates
Where lives are carved in slate
And I sit beside the place where they laid you
I’m older now and times have changed
And I look upon those perfect days
Sometimes I dream how life should be
And all the while you’re there with me
So waken from the sleep
Stand up strong upon your feet
For the water of the deep could not keep you
You were valiant in your choice
But I long to hear your voice
For the ending of the voyage
Cannot be through
Until I’m with you
Until I’m with you
