White Surf


from the ABC set a moondance

Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Watching the white foam roll them all back to me
The days of my childhood I throw for the sea
Watch the white surf washing them all back for me

Wouldn’t it be good if clocks could be turned back in years
Oh how I wish we could re-live the laughter and tears

The dreams of my childhood I throw for the sea
Watch the white waves drifting them all back for me
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Watching the white surf carry them all back to me

Very much enjoyed, like the repetition, worked very well in my opinion. I think the simplicity makes this very beautiful as well as the images of 'the white surf' , sounds very tranquil and beautiful.

Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
Travelled by many remembered by few
Looking for something that I can believe in
Looking for something that I’d like to do with my life

I don’t know what the future is holding in store
I don’t know where I’m going I’m not sure where I’ve been
There’s a spirit that guides me a light that shines for me
My life is worth the living I don’t need to see the end

Sweet sweet surrender, live live without care
Like a fish in the water, like a bird in the air

There’s nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
To something that might have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open right now it seems to be more
Than enough to just be here today

Sweet sweet surrender, live live without care
Like a fish in the water, like a bird in the air

You fill up my senses
Like a night in a forest
Like the mountains in springtime
Like a walk in the rain
Like a storm in the desert
Like a sleepy blue ocean

&

Come let me love you
Let me give my life to you
Let me drown in your laughter
Let me die in your arms
Let me lie down beside you
Let me always be with you

&

Come let me love you
Come love me again

Thankyou comment.
Don't know that one Bob Dylan's
Song shame sounds nice must get
Ray to find the music and words.
What tune does it remind you of.
"Ave Maria". Then one She Wears My Ring.
Very cold out So keeping new boots for another day.

The Main-Deep

The long, rolling,
Steady-pouring,
Deep-trenchèd
Green billow:

The wide-topped,
Unbroken,
Green-glacid,
Slow-sliding,

Cold-flushing,
On–on–on–
Chill rushing,
Hush-hushing,

Hush–hushing. . .

really enjoyed this... it conjured up lots of memories, melancholic and heart warming.
