The Faraway Waltz

I closed my eyes in time to see The moment when I was born With tears of joy for her baby boy She sang me this faraway waltz When I was younger I'd bask in her voice Like perfume, infusing the air Although years have passed I am still taken back By the echo of the faraway waltz Stay a while, darling child Let's go down to the sea Don't be afraid of the coming of day For you're carrying all you need The last time that I walked by the waves I gave her a piece of my heart She gave me the same when she rose up and sang With nostalgia the faraway waltz Stay a while, darling child Let's go down to the sea Don't be afraid of the coming of day For you're carrying all you need
