Cara Dillon - Standing On The Shore lyrics

Your rating: 

Through the mist my ship has sailed, leaving me behind
All things left unsaid, that were in my mind
When I stood on this deck, strange things I saw
Strange they have vanished now
I'm standing on the shore

Sandy hills all around, nothing standing clear
Softly light is falling through, time was never here
When I stood on this deck, strange things I saw
Strange they have vanished now
I'm standing on the shore

Headlands fading out of sight, horizons disappear
Hazy shores and silent seas, nothing so I fear
Air and water, grass and sand, merging into one
In the silence of the mist, I am still alone
When I stood on this deck, strange things I saw
Strange they have vanished now
I'm standing on the shore
Standing on the shore 
Standing on the shore

Standing on the shore
Standing on the shore
Standing on the shore
Standing on the shore

Het is een traditionel song, oorspronkelijk geschreven door Johnny Moynihan. Carla heeft het slechts bewerkt. Het lied kent nog een couplet, wat ik hieronder zet.

The logbook closed, the ship has gone
As it has done before
Where it sails no tongue can tell
No one was on board

In zijn lied probeert Johnny tot uitdrukking te brengen dat wat hij zag zo mooi en tegelijkertijd zo verdrietig is.
