Down on the shorline where water meets stone

Mist drifts in with the early spring morn

I glimpsed your flight from some distant land

As you skipped so lightly on the soft golden sand

Over crystal blue waters beneath golden skies

As warm waves caressed sparkling grey stones

My bed may be empty but I'm not alone
[Chorus]

As starlight fades I hear your song

Echoing across the singing grey stones

I race to the shoreline as night slips away
Ab Eb Dm Gm
And together we greet the new born day

Down on the shorline winter hangs low

Black waters sleep on silent grey stones

Dark clouds hide your flight from my eyes

As I wander the shoreline beneath stormy skies
[Chorus]

When will I fly away with you
Ab Eb Bb Cm
Past the sun to pastures new
Eb Bb Fm Cm
Until then I will spend my time
Ab Eb Dm Gm
Waiting for you on this empty shoreline
