As I stand looking into your mist of darkness
Life returns by the shore for me
Once youthful and full of hope
Life was dreaming of Sailors and young Marines
For which the dance would begin
While another stood in the waning mist
Never capturing a heart from one
To last a lifetime of love
I moved onto another shore
Now years have passed and I look
To the shore once more
Where a world away lays a war
I call on your misty night and calming waters
To lift my heavy heart
Bring back those times of peace
Return those who have crossed your water
To another shore far from home
Bring them back to a shore of peace
