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.
