A Candle On the Sea

For you I'll make an ocean
Where you'll never have to hide
I'll fill it with devotion
And pour love upon the tide

        For you these waters bide...

The waves they will embrace you
On that warm supporting sea
The current, it will guide you through
And bring your flame to me

        The things you always wanted...you will see
