No Graves but the Sea

I loved to walk barefoot on the shores

Just to feel the coarse sand between my toes

To hear the waves crushing and roar

And to hear the ocean calling my name

Calling me home

Raise your glass to the ones we loved

For whom we cried at night

For those who left this place too early

In my dreams, I hold you tight

Raise your glass to the ones we loved

For whom we cried at night

I'll see you on the other side

Where shadows reach for light

For what we've lost like-a you and me

It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea

To the pain of pure hearts

Bleak skies and the sea

To the mountains and tides

As they fall, so do we

No man steps in the same river twice

For it's a different river, a different man

But through him flows the river of time

And the time shared becomes a memory or a scar

I love to feel the bare stones between my hands

To gasp and fill my lungs with cold air

To sense the wind, not breaking young hearts, but branches

To hear the mountains now and then calling my name

Finally calling me home

And now as I stand here in the clouds

It starts hurting a little less

Since I know I'm not alone anymore

Since I know I'm gonna sleep through this storm

Drink with me to the days gone by

Drink with me to the days gone by

Drink with me to the days gone by

And the life that used to be

Drink with me to the days gone by

To the life we used to live

Father ocean, oh, Mother sea

Come, Lady Death, and wear your crown

'Cause the sea's words were always more honest

Speaking to those willing to drown

For what we've lost like-a you and me

It's always ourselves we'll find in the sea

To the pain of pure hearts

Bleak skies and the sea

To the mountains and tides

As they fall, so do we
