Anderson Jon - The Evening Star lyrics

Kiss me softly, kiss me long For come tomorrow, you will be gone Into a world of sea and sky Leaving me lonely with the tide Dream of a distant, peaceful shore Away from the pounding waves of war Where we can lift our hearts on/up high And join our hands across the sky Meet silver sand(?), like wings in flight That touch the moon and (?) the night The west world winds shall guide your path Star strands on high shall bring you back Through the icy teeth of night My love for you shall be the light Casting a glimmer from afar When you behold the Evening star The waves that break upon my heart Shall sound a sigh while we are apart May sword and shield keep you from harm 'Til you are safe within my arms Over the ocean deep and green Forever they speak and shall be seen Casting a glimmer from afar When you behold the Evening star Take on this voyage all my prayers My heart will have wings to lead you there To kiss you softly, kiss you long Beyond the gleaming gates of dawn
