The Waters Edge

Stand at the waters edge
it's you I long to see,
over an ocean blue.
Walk the sand to find peace,
as I wait to see you.
Stand at the waters edge
watching the morning sun,
you have been in motion.
I miss our fun all day,
in the cool wet ocean.
Stand at the waters edge
remembering you left,
watching the birds go by.
Oh my heart was left here,
I just wanted to die.
Stand at the waters edge
come home very quickly,
I will pray on one knee.
Our time is standing still,
you still belong to me.
