I stood with you at Shelly beach bay on the cliff side watching the waves. We felt the ebb tide pulling the rock face as a tear fell ‘cos you’re going away
‘n at the moment the wave hit the rock I sensed the fear and felt the shock…Your need to flee free my desire for you to stay near me …. the ebb life is here to stay the man in the boy is going away
I felt the sorrow of time I borrowed ‘n lost a boy to a man’s tomorrow. I felt the calm I’ve known before and I sensed the wave taking you from the shore
‘n at the moment the wave hit the rock I sensed the fear and felt the shock…Your need to flee free my desire for you to stay near me ….the ebb life is here to stay the man in the boy is going away
What words now do I say on the cliff face bathed by the waves. Just to stand with you will soon be unreal. I wish you so much with all the love I feel.
‘n I feel the ocean’s might. I know in my heart your choice is right and tide flows on to the life you want…one, where you belong. From high seas to the calm bay from winter’s gale to a light breeze day on unchartered paths the soul of heart must lift home-anchor to depart.
…. the ebb life I felt today uncertain of your return the tide’s going away.
