Heartbreak Shore

I sit and ponder by the sea
I feel my spirit soaring free
And still I want for more
On this heartbreak shore

I watch the gulls as they float by
Silhouettes against the sky
And still I want for more
On this heartbreak shore

I listen to the mermaids sing
Soft and clear their voices ring

I hear the thunder, feel the rain
And let it wash away my pain

The salty breezes stroke my face
Reminding me of your embrace
And still I want for more
On this heartbreak shore

I listen to the ocean swells
And all the stories that it tells

I watch the dark clouds drifting by
As moonlight comes to fill the sky

I see the stars begin their night
As clouds move out in rapid flight

I see your face against the moon
In speeded heartbeat almost swoon
And still I want for more
On this heartbreak shore

If I could hold you close and tight
Caress your body through the night
I would not want for more
On this heartbreak shore

Very nice, Brian. Now if this is set to music that lets hear the words, it will be beautiful to hear. ME

This is so beautiful and so full of longing, very well expressed with a wonderful flow! This is a keeper, into the library this goes

Take care,

Brian - the words are great. Now one must put in the chords, so I can play it.
