The road stretched mile after mile
Dragging through the hours
'Til I was embraced by your smile
To a land of sea and sand
The sea-piled weed making mountains on the land
To a house that always felt so bare
Arriving here without you, up until you were there
Daylight casting shadows on the land
Got me thinking 'bout the sea and the sand
Days gone and memory, it folds
To the shape of life, to build a story told
Memory song, float away, on the tide
Memory song, float away, tonight
Sunday dusk, in fading light
You grabbed your long dog and drove off to the night
Away from home, away to home
The dying light tinged by the ache of alone
The house that always felt so bare
Arriving here without me, up until we were there
Daylight casting shadows on the land
Got me thinking 'bout the sea and the sand
Days gone and memory, it folds
To the shape of life, to build a story told
We might grow and settle down, some day
We might send our lives away or stay
Can it always be that way
Can it always be that way?
On changing tides, daydreams die
Smaller grew the home, with every passing mile
Back to family and friends
We boxed up this life, and so this story ends
This big old home we left behind
Is kept alive in memories, drifting through our mind
Memory song, float away, on the tide
Memory song, float away, tonight
