Now babe, is that you crying
'Cause I'm not lying next to you?
That sun going down sure makes this lonesome town
Thirty shades of blue
Here in Minnesota
Waiting out the summer's hottest night
I think about you walking on the beach at home
And I know you'll be alright
You've been calling on the telephone
Spending all those hours alone 'cause you wanted to
And writing letters every night
'Cause it seemed right to say whatever came to you
Go down by the water
And make a wish for you and me
And watch the shorebirds running in
As the tide goes running out to sea
Throw a stone in the water
And bless the son and daughter
Of this rolling ocean shore
Love waits to guide us safely home once more
People walking with their dogs
Stacking driftwood logs to make a fire
As the sea pulls at the sun
The day flies on the run before the night's desire
Love is all around you
As the day falls fast asleep
But all that I can send you now is a love
That's only yours to keep
Throw a stone in the water
And bless the son and daughter
Of this rolling ocean shore
Love waits to guide us safely home once more
Love waits to guide us safely home once more
