I come in a storm on the sea
My waves kiss your shoreline so harshly
It's almost a ghost - white sails off the coast
An echo that rings out too sharply
It's empty and still in your room
A lifetime we barely remember
You don't stop to think - you offer a drink
A spark in the chill of December
You left me so long ago, dared to depart
A curse that you couldn't bear wrapped 'round my heart
Now the wind's blowing cold and our dreams have grown old
But your hair will shine golden again
How bitter the memories rise
The arguments tired and hollow
A darkness inside - I never could hide
You're set on a path I can't follow
I begged and I bartered, you fretted and stared
A treasure's no treasure unless it be shared
There's so much gone before, but I'm here at your door
And your hair will shine golden again
It's a past that we've left far behind
It's a future that ties us together
This heart is a burden I can't bear alone
Don't leave me to it forever
We've come to the end of our tale
My dear, never doubt that I love you
It's hauling a line, it's singing in time
It's one bright star shining above you
You set your course carefully, honest and true
The pull of the tide is a dream we once knew...
You've been too long on land, but you reach for my hand
And your hair will shine golden again
