Gazing at the white capped waves
That pound the rocky shore
I hear the music of my heart
Begin to play once more
I close my eyes to catch each note
That dances in my soul
And find that place I need to be
As I surrender all control
The music just plays on and on
Until the shadows fall
For nothing seems to break the spell
Or matter much at all
I'm where I know I want to be
At one with sky and sea
So, I'll just let eternal music
Wash all over me
Time fades into the sunset
Oh yes how well I know
That I will have to soon depart
This place I love to go
I slowly stand and turn to leave
But not without a smile
For the music that has captured me
Is still playing all the while
