In Search Of You

Sunlight on my grinning face

Follows me from place to place

But it won’t do

Don’t know how long I can wait

Wandering this empty space

Searching for you

Up and down the barren coast

Listen as the riptide rolls

With so much to say

Probably what hurts the most

Is knowing when you’re so very close

And still so far away

Once per while I catch a glimpse

Of unintended fleeting hints

To call out your name

Won’t make much a difference

Words don’t carry far upwind

It’s always the same

In the breeze

I see it’s just the wind

It’s a tease

To be at the shoreline again

O Shepherd, call the sheep back home

Be thankful that you’re not alone

Round 'em up one more time

My, how much the herd has grown

With wool to warm your gentle soul

Leave no soul behind
