I was sat by the river when the ocean called

And something within me came and took hold

Saying: “Where will you come to if you go alone?”

This road isn’t easy, but this road is my own

The tide it is stronger than I could have known

I just need a light to find my way home

I would have found you myself I ever could

But I’m sure you’re from heaven so I don’t think I would

The day’s nearly over but deep in your eyes

Is a moment that we could share through the night

I’ll spell out this feeling one word at a time

Like the secrets you told me and the ones that I hide

We spoke in a language that I’d never heard

But you whisper it as though you know every word

That’s just how you are, each day has its turn

And I just keep thinking of things I have to learn

The day’s nearly over but deep in your eyes

Is a moment that we could share through the night

I’ll spell out this feeling one word at a time

Like the secrets you told me and the ones that I hide
