Across the Sea




As I stand on the harbour,
Gazing out to sea,
All my thoughts are with you,
So far away from me.
For you have crossed that ocean,
To San Francisco bay,
I wonder if you're happy there,
So many miles away.

I'm left here to wait alone,
Watching the restless tide,
As it flows out it takes my love,
To you on the other side.
I hope you are safe and well,
That you have found someone,
Who will care about you,
As I have always done.

Maybe one day you will return,
From that distant shore,
And once again I'll hold you,
Safe in my arms once more.
For we're not really parted,
Though you are far from me.
A mother's love can reach her son,
Across the widest sea.
