Ruth Moody Life Is Long
I walk along this lonely strand
At the ebbing of the tide
I have seen this place before
You were walking by my side.
It was on this day one year ago
That we came out to Geordie Bay
Long before you closed your eyes
And your body slipped away.
And life was long, love, life was long
Life was long, love, life was long
We had time, love, we had time
For life was long, love, life was long.
Now a year has passed and things have changed
Your spirit's returned from whence it came
Still the ocean sounds the same
And the trees whisper your name.
And they whisper words you once said to me
'We have time, love, for life is long'
So now I walk this path of memories
Reach out for your spirit and join you in song.
Life is long, love, life is long
Life is long, love, life is long
We have time, love, we have time
For life is long, love, life is long.
Had you known when you spoke those words
That your time had come and you'd soon be gone
You may never have spoken so
Still I hear your voice singing...
Life is long, love, life is long
Life is long, love, life is long
We have time, love, we have time
For life is long, love, life is long.
