lyrics

YOUR NAME
Brenda Liddiard)

There is a part of me never feels any older
And there is a part of me always adrift on the sea
There's always a part of me looking back over my shoulder
Hoping to banish the shadow that's following me.

I'm watching the fishing boats follow the tide to the harbour
I'm catching the last of the sun at the end of the day
I feel if the pull of the water should get any stronger
I'll have to sever this anchor and drift away.

I wish I could fly
with the wings of a dove
And I hope I can rise
far above
this earthly plane
this sea of pain
I call your name.

I know there will always be things to make me falter
I know there will always be things that I wish I could change
But here I am laying these ghosts to rest at your altar
And yet when I leave here a part of me will remain.

I wish I could fly
with the wings of a dove
And I hope I can rise
far above
this earthly plane
this sea of pain
I call your name.
