Deserted Shores
Lyrics and music R.G.Theil (aka Lawrence Woolfe), 1984
I stand on the shoreline
And watch the tides come in
Where once from these westlands
We sailed and fished our fill
With the spume fresh and bracing
The gulls shrieked in our wake
Now a silence sounds where once
We tasted life
I stand on the headland
With the signs of yesteryear
And remember the faces
That left to test new ways
My sons wanted something
I have never even seen
Now a silence sounds where once
We tasted life
From the CD Bridging the Silence (Koch Records, 1993)
