Along the Shores of My Heart
{verse-1}
Along the shores of my heart, lies my memories
As waves of my past, splash inside my mind
Inside there's an image, of her and the babies
And as my tears start to fall, I drift further behind
{verse-2}
My bodies now withered, from drinking and rage
My hands now wrinkled, on this old weary frame
And as another Image floats on by, I turn another page
For my life today ended, when the angels came
{chorus}
Rowing alone, along the shores of my heart
Getting nowhere, right from the start
So many memories and hearts torn apart
As I enter the heavens, along the shores of my heart
{verse-3 Spoken}
Today where the clouds once floated, the skies are now gray
And as I look down from heaven, I see the pains I left behind
From my eyes tears fall like rain, as I watch my life just fade way
That's when I fell to my knees, and asked why was I blind
{chorus}
Rowing alone, along the shores of my heart
Getting nowhere, right from the start
So many memories and hearts torn apart
As I enter the heavens, along the shores of my heart
{Repeat chorus ending}
