Lyrics
There is a boy washed up from Sea
Stands on the shore waiting for me
How many moons fell in between this night?
And, if I choose to stay will he return for me?
Soft like the wind whispering my name
calling me in
I hear him say
"There was one summer five and some years before
You were my lover don't you remember me?"
I turn away salted with tears
and with one great wave he disappears
back to the Ocean
She'll have him five years more
I won't forget him
my boy on the shore
