Lyrics - Shingle Song by Hammill Peter

You can see in the 1st light that's graced as dawnthat there's nothing in my heart but painas
I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're goneall the elements rage to explainthat
I should really be on my way;but there is somethingwhich ensures
I must stay.
Beneath the roar of the seething surf,beneath the caterwaul of scattered call windthoughts and gestures unspoken, unheard--and now the dance of rapture beginsas the waves rush along across the beach:like you, like your loveforever out of reach.
Look at the sky, but it's empty now;look at the sea, it holds nothing but despair.
I raise my eyes, but my head stays bower...
I look to my side, but you're not there.
And
I can't get you out of my mind,no, no, no, no,
I just can't get you from my mind.------------------------------------------------------------------
