Your foot print will cross my ghost in golden grains of sand But you must question why I lied to you, and yet I lied to you You sense I left while love was fraught, and me? I can but cajole and endeavour not to be so sad
Forgive and forget me when I have to go, I made you a promise which I just broke I rail at the sky; beat my breast, I’m on a journey where only I can go Cast my body to the golden sands, and so dispatch me on a voyage far away from you
Summer sun, Ocean wind to a Beach Boy theme And all for I try to loosely hold your hand, you pass on by so fleet of foot Winter storms which blow and beat And I would be there to hold your weight, but you pass me by without thought
Forgive and forget me when I have to go, I made you a promise which I just broke I rail at the sky; beat my breast, I’m on a journey where only I can go Cast my body to the golden sands, and so dispatch me on a voyage far away from you
The years have passed like flickering cards And yet I rail at the skies and beat my breast, as all I could do was lie to you Your ears hear distant sounds, your eyes see far and wide And yet you never hear or see me too
I will stand for what seems like to forever beseeching you Although all my wailing will never do So pointlessly I rail at the skies and beat my breast weeping for my lies to you Forgive and forget me when I have to go, I made you a promise which I just broke I rail at the sky; beat my breast, I’m on a journey where only I can go Cast my body to the golden sands, and so dispatch me on a voyage far away from you
In every breath I take I can feel and count your hate and you could shout and pull your hair But that is surely not your way you’d rather sit alone to cry away your lasting tears While sadly all I can do is stand and shout or sit and wait I rail at the skies and beat my breast I could cajole and be so sad, rip my heart in tears for you But I must stand on the golden sands until you appear for me But of course I lied to you and there is disbelief you will want me back
So I can only hope that time will heal your tears With summer passing and winter near Maybe you will walk the sand and forgive me dear Talk to me where I can hear, visit me and be so near And then I can wait for you to appear Instead if railing at the skies and beating my breast As I wait for you to come and rest
Forgive and forget me when I have to go, I made you a promise which I just broke I rail at the sky; beat my breast, I’m on a journey where only I can go Cast my body to the golden sands, and so dispatch me on a voyage far away from you
