Duet: Ghost Along the Shore

I hear the seagulls crying
I hear the seagulls crying
I hear the seagulls crying
as I walk along the shore.

Salt in the air tonight my love,
like tears uncried tonight my love,
like lovers' lies tonight my love -
forget me not in the morning.

The cold wind wraps around me
the cold wind wraps around me
the cold wind wraps around me
as it whispers "never more."

The waves roll in tonight my love,
and wash the strand tonight my love,
to hide your hand tonight my love -
forget me not in the morning.

I remember how she sang here
I remember how she sang here
I remember how she sang here
As she walked along the shore.

The sand is wet tonight my love,
from rain and wave tonight my love,
from my heart's blood tonight my love -
forget me not in the morning.

She whispers at the ebb tide
she whispers at the ebb tide
she whispers at the ebb tide
But she'll sing for me no more.

The Water Ghost

I stand beneath the deep blue waters
looking up,
the waters pulling at my hair,
my heart
caught in the rhythm of the tides,
ebbing
for a moment before the flood washes once again
over me.

Here you are little more than a bright shadow,
O Sun,
Filtered by the flow of the waters,
a warm spot
that at times I reach out to find,
memory
of that time before I tread the paths
beneath the surface.

Shall I remember the day  long, long ago?
The sand
was warm beneath my dry feet in summer,
the waves
crashed along a beach that seemed to go on forever,
and I
fell into the waters, pulled down by hands who never
let go.

Lost in the depth beneath the sea, they say
a castle rises,
Home of the Dragon King and his host beneath
the waves,
Where the maidens dressed in finery gracefully sway as
they serve –
Tales made by those who never have seen the darkness of
the abyssal plain.
