There was a storm that hit our bay
That drifted you too far out to sea
Too far for me to swim and reach out for you,
So far I couldn’t rescue you (rescue us)
I stood on the beach helpless
I watched the flow of the water
carry you away
As the tears flowed down my cheeks
I was weighed down by heavy heart
heavy because it was full of sorrow
I looked out on to the horizon
you were slowly drifting out of my sight
I thought you set sail towards new lands
I thought the tides of someone else’s ocean
had swept you to their shores
so many days you were lost at sea
I wondered if the tides would ever change their course
and return you back to me
then I saw your signal the beacon of light
the tides had granted me my wishes and guided you safely back to me
you moored yourself by my side
I made a promise to myself ( to you) to keep you safe
to never let you drift off back out to sea
because I will always keep your anchor secure, safe in my heart
where it was meant to be
