Across the ocean the wind blows silent
What a tale of sorrow it brings
Listen how the force
That so vain and violent rings
Stand on the shore, watch the broad horizon
Never knowing what it might hide
Washing up a great storm
Of tears on every tide
And then we cried
And then we cried
He dives down to never surface
What happened to the sun's shining light?
Forever to be lost
In the longest, darkest night
She soars round in endless circles
Holding to her fatal flight
Then falling through the changes
Till time folds out of sight
And then we cried
And then we cried
How could it have come to this?
From a vision so endless and true?
How could it have come to this?
Will all things renew?
Is it there on;y for out taking?
Will solution bring more fear?
A long forgotten rhythm
That's lost but never near
Stand on the shore, watch the broad horizon
Never knowing what it might hide
Washing up a great storm
Of tears on every tide
And then we cried
And then we cried
