I walk along this lonely strand At the ebbing of the tide I have seen this place before You were walking by my side
It was on this day one year ago That we came out to Geordie Bay Long before you closed your eyes And your body slipped away
And life was long, love, life was long Life was long, love, life was long We had time, love, we had time For life was long, love, life was long
Now a year has passed and things have changed, your spirt's returned from when it came, Still the ocean sounds the same, And the trees whisper your name.
And they whisper the words you once said to me, 'We have time, love, for life is long', So now I walk this path of memories, Reach out for your spirit and join you in song.
Life is long, love, life was long Life is long, love, life was long We have time, love, we have time For life is long, love, life is long
Had you known when you spoke these words That your time had come and you'd soon be gone You may never have spoken so Still I hear your voice signing...
Life is long, love, life was long Life is long, love, life was long We have time, love, we have time For life is long, love, life is long.
