Following the sun home we are avoiding the night

Until the clouds below are far above

It’s 8 o’clock, the sun sets where you are; my heart waits where you are

And I still hear the ocean, and I still hear you say…

We used words like forever, like waves wash sand castles away

And I still hear the ocean, with my ear against this shell

The turbines go into reverse we’re landing soon, and I can’t wait to see you

The closure in your touch and to look into your eyes

I must have parted with so much to be left with this vice

And still, she sings war stories with conviction and a nostalgic glisten in her eye
