The Light On The Shore lyrics

Old as I am, older thanThe threads of understanding, which we weave between usOld as you are, older by farThan the contours of the love that we leave behind usBold as I am, bolder thanThe pioneers who swept their way across the desertBold as you are, bolder by farThe lovers who have swum the tide to be togetherAre we old enough and bold enough to say goodbye?Old enough and bold enough that we do not need to cry?Well I'm not so old and not so bold I don't need you moreNow the light is slowly beckoning you to the shoreCold is the ground for which you're boundIt's a place where we can never more be togetherCold is the air that takes you thereOn a passage that will end with your end foreverBut it's not so cold I do not feel the warmth of your skinNot so cold I do not know the fires that burn within youThough they are fading now I wish that they would burn once moreAnd keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shoreIf I could sail the seas of time then I would keep you fr
om harmBut I am no sailor and I cannot warn youThough there's nothing in my life I ever wanted moreThan to keep you from the light that's slowly beckoning youThan to shield you from the light that's slowly beckoning you to the shore
