Agates In The Sand

Come walk with me, along the sea
Where the sunshine warms the land
And search with me, for treasures free
Like agates in the sand

Come wade with me, into the sea
And roil the foaming waves
We'll speak in awe, of the things we saw
In the damp and darkling caves

We'll stand, so tall, on the high cliff wall
'Let the sea breeze fan our hair
'Watch the sand crabs crawl, hear the seagulls call
As they wheel upon the air

Then sleep so sound, hearing the waves pound
In the not-so-distant surf
Wake in the morn, to the old foghorn
As the new day's given birth

So come wade with me, into the sea
And roil the foaming waves
We'll speak in awe, of the things we saw
In the damp and darkling caves

We'll sit and chat, of this and that
As we watch the rolling waves
- Of our loved ones gone, and 'how before long
God will open up the graves

As we wipe our tears, reviewing the years
We'll rejoice in hope, so near
'Back to the sand we'll go, faces aglow
Sharing all we hold so dear

So come wade with me, into the sea
And roil the foaming waves
We'll speak in awe, of the things we saw
In the damp and darkling caves

Come walk with me, along the sea
Where the sunshine warms the land
And search with me, for treasures free
Like agates in the sand
Like agates in the sand
Like agates in the sand
