The waves break on shore
as dark clouds gather above us
wind rips, seagulls cry
You wander near the water
an ache in your eyes, dreaming.

I saw her at the
Crossroads, black dog at her heel
A torch in her hand
Another drink, a day gone
Torch burning in the darkness
The waves break on shore
as dark clouds gather above us
wind rips, seagulls cry
You wander near the water
an ache in your eyes, dreaming.
