Sandy Shore (Ballad)

Walking along the sandy shore
waves crashing among my feet
Setting sun in the distance
wishing this day i could keep

This sandy path i now follow
shifts, changing with the wind
While dancing freely on my own
a happiness of a different sin

Longing never to return again
now following the sandy shore
Discovering a new path of life
leaving a life i know no more
