The tides rise and fall still whispering low
Moonlight dances on waters a tranquil glow
Shadows drift where footsteps fade
Memories linger though time wont stay
Cobblestone lanes now silent and bare
A lone boat waits in the cool night air
Who sighs in the wind calling the past
Echoes dissolve as the waves rush fast
The tide speaks softly of sorrow untold
A thousand whispers in the oceans fold
Clouds drift faint the stars stretch wide
When will time cease this endless tide
A fleeting shadow a dream long gone
The heart yearns for whats undone
Frosted bridges a distant flutes refrain
Recalling spring feasts and loves brief flame
Raindrops fell on a paper-thin shield
By the tide secrets are revealed
A melody carried on the oceans song
Both fleeting and infinite everlong
What does the tide sing of still and cold
Of dreams forgotten stories retold
Waves rise and fall in a boundless dance
Guiding hearts through lifes expanse
With one light shining in the endless night
It carries our hopes into eternal flight
