I'm deeply sorry
For the pain that I have caused
For my careless attacks
For my unkind words
This great stretch of ocean
Two hundred miles or more
I am sending my love
To your far quiet shore
Send only love again
Upon the breeze
Don't berate yourself
As the air moves the sea
Soft reports of who we were
Walking close beneath the trees
The love that I have broken
A tidal ghost in me
Her rush to the shore
Her slow retreat
Send only love again
Upon the breeze
Don't berate yourself
As the air moves the sea
Standing close beneath the trees
Send only good again
And finally
Don't berate yourself
We are leaves upon the sea
Walking close beneath the trees
Walking close beneath the sea
Wide and grey
Into the river we wade
From two sides
Into the great divide
Face to face
Hold take hold
Hold onto to what we've got
Swim or sleep
Carried along beneath
