Lyric

You left your footprints in the sand

The sea kissed them and slipped away

Your eyes held stars from distant lands

While I just searched for what to say

The waves kept singing out your name

The moon lit up without a cause

And I, a pilgrim wrapped in flame

Gave you my roots, my voice, my flaws

Ay, my love, you never fade

You live in the wind, you echo, you stay

You’re the fire and the calm

The earth that holds me, the soft summer rain

Ay, my love, you are my ground

The heart-roots I have found

The streets of this old dusty town

Still whisper your laughter in gold

And though the years keep racing down

They can’t erase what I still hold

I write you songs into the sky

I pray to the maize and the flame

Each note a place where you’re nearby

As if you’d never gone away

Ay, my love, you never fade

You live in the wind, you echo, you stay

You’re the fire and the calm

The earth that holds me, the soft summer rain

Ay, my love, you are my ground

The heart-roots I have found

No distance, no goodbyes

Can steal where soul and soul entwine

I return where love won’t die

Where you taught me to be mine

Ay, my love, you never fade

You live in the wind, you echo, you stay

You’re the fire and the calm

The earth that holds me, the soft summer rain

Ay, my love, eternity

The roots that grow in me…
