Waltz For Richard

On our last trip to the coast

We watched the boats sail the sea

"How effortlessly they float"

You turned and said to me

And sedately I sat there

In my quiet mist of rage

How I wanted to tell you

But I was hushed by my shame

So when the waves come rolling in

Then I won't turn the tide

And in the line of fire

You'll set me aside

So go on Richard let go

And I can still remember

The laughter in a stranger's face

And the way you would tell me

To slow down my pace

See no living is that easy

No living is that fair

Of course I was going to lose you

Were you ever even there?

Were you ever even there?

So when the waves come rolling in

Then I won't turn the tide

And in the line of fire

You'll set me aside

So go on Richard let go

So go on Richard let go
