Lyrics
Sea of Time
He leaves there at night, in a howling wind
Unsure if he’ll return
The mast is tall, the sails all in
The deck rides the churn
To seek a new world, to go, to begin
To leave it all behind
There was no choice, there was no sin
Only the need to find
Across the sea of time
Where our moments come ashore
I was and I will
Have known you before
And it shall come to be
For those moments still at sea
Eternal hearts renew
To know you once more
Like I’ve known you before
Can I be sure
She tightens her eyes, against her tears
As parting makes its sound
Together in love, for so many years
But always newly found
She stands herself up, looks in the mirror
And only sees inside
Love was given, and love was taken
But either way she cried
Across the sea of time
Where our moments come ashore
I was and I will
Have known you before
And it shall come to be
For those moments still at sea
Eternal hearts renew
To know you once more
Like I’ve known you before
Can I be sure
There they are, together again
But they only just met
They don’t recall, they don’t predict
They carry no regret
So in sync, so in tune
Their song begins anew
Always their verses, are moments ashore
Their song is always true
Across the sea of time
Where our moments come ashore
I was and I will
Have known you before
And it shall come to be
For those moments still at sea
Eternal hearts renew
To know you once more
Like I’ve known you before
Can I be sure
