I held your hand ; I kissed you,
When I found you on the sand
Waiting in the water, ankle deep
Together, forever, we'll stand

I watched you as you watched the sea
Your palm, solid in mine
The water round our shins now
Unaware of the passage of time

The night draws ever closer
Water lapping at our thighs
We stand together, unmoving
Outlasting the darkening sky

The tide has over taken us
The beach line far away
The water rises higher
But here, with you, I will stay

The taste of salt is everywhere
I see in a blue green hue
The darkening sea has taken me
And here, I will wait for you
