Hearts in the Sand (song)

 
 
Sunlight on the harbour
sparkles like mischievous eyes
Laughter of seagulls
Questions float on wind and tide
 
The trees where we used to walk together

Lifetimes wash away like hearts in the sand
You’re living in my memory

Lifetimes wash away like hearts in the sand
You’re living in my memory
I’m gonna be alright
 
The tides went on and on before us
The tides go on and on when we're gone...
