"Walking On The Waves" lyrics

"Walking On The Waves"
(feat. Anthony Thistlethwaite)

An island in the sunlight, laughter in the rain
A whisky in the darkness, it all feels just the same

Watch the sunset over Hynish, see the twilight merge to dawn
Hear the waves caress the shoreline as the island carries on

I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

There's two lovers on the machair and they walk down to the sand
Their silhouettes are on the water as they paddle hand in hand

And it's a game of sweet surrender when there's nothing left to say
And there are moments to remember once these days are long away

I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

So you look out on the ocean, see the headlands and the strands
And you wonder what horizons will shape tomorrow's plans

And through the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the days
Every drink's another reason to let tomorrow sail away

I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

The surging of the ocean
The breakers on the shore
The echoes of our bodies
To the lovers' dream we soar

I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
