Lyrics
Come dawn by the seashore
when tides take to rolling
--and sea birds make wing
---to meet morning's first rays,
The rythm of sea roars
set my mind to roaming
--of songs we would sing
---the games we did play,
This beach makes me lonely
and my thoughts keep bringing
--me back to the 'good days'
---green fields we would roam,
"It's you, I want only,"
you words keep repeating,
--Oh, how I wish they'd say
---you dad could come home,
(CHORUS)
Father in Heaven
--my Lord, my God, I pray,
Be a daddy to my precious
while I am far away,
Of roses and ribbons
and rainbows, your questions
--would try me, defy me
---I'd answer in rhyme,
But riddles to rythm
have no satisfaction
--to questions on daddy,
---No answer this time,
(CHORUS)
Come down to the seashore,
Come down in the morning
--with sun, sand and tide I
---am here and I say,
That sunrises galore
bare nothing I'm yearning
--'till you're by my side
---I shall have no new day,
