Stars slip in the ocean
our love lies on a beach
I stretch out my arm though
I know it will not reach
your delicate wee frame
your fingers stretched to me
and all that I can hold
that silver memory
Slow-dancing the shoreline
Sangria and sweet kiss
Time dissolves to nothing
while waves keep whispering 'wish'¦'
So now I wish on stars
from half way round the world
for one more moonlit dance
one chance to kiss the girl
This last cold-comfort drink
as icy storm rain falls
helps me to embrace sleep
forget about these walls
that aren't the ones we chose
to hang our pictures from
where you lull me to sleep
without the need for Rum
Our house that's nestled safe
in shadow of the hill
above old Belfast's lough
to me is beauty still
while new frontiers are gold
and exploration key
those greatest treasures all
are shared discoveries
