Here by the ocean where the water meets the coast She awaits Told that he'd be gone, didn't mention how long She'd have to stare back at the Sun And the earth that keeps on spinning A finger that keeps weaving All these nights, spent alone He, by the great wall, for his men, for his pride He fights Lost all he could claim, nothing left now but his name Against the winds, he drifts away And the earth that keeps on spinning His tears that keep on rolling All the evenings far from home The child lost in between, her sorrow and his dreams He sails He's met with every stranger Always seeking the same answers Something to hold, something to keep For the earth to keep on spinning, for an end to his longing All these nights lost alone
