Farthest Shore
Lyricist:David Wilcox
We were there in the woods by the water We left our packs up against that willow tree We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with And our memories, knowledge and our dreams
And as I swam away from our possessions I imagined that they were gone forever more And for once, I was glad that all I treasured Would still be with me as I reached other shore
So let me dive into the water Leave behind all that I've worked for Except what I remember and believe And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain I found the strings, frets and rusted latches But I will never hear that old guitar again
These four walls are only in my memory Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So one last look and I'm headed for the river To wash my hands and try to say this prayer
Let me dive into the water Leave behind all that I've worked for Except what I remember and believe And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
When my time to live this life is over I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim And of all the things that make a life worth living That only come to those who dive right in
So let me dive into the water Leave behind all that I've worked for Except what I remember and believe And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
All I need Let me dive into the water It's all I need
