Barrère-Fuller-Payne-Tackett Standing by the ocean watch it tear away the shore Glide out upon the desert, the horizon is the door And though your voice is shouting above the wind it can't be heard Drop all sense of reason, it's there you'll find your worth And though you are srrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind Searching for safe passage as you knock on every door You still can hear the howling of the mongrel dogs of war You call our for some comfort seeking shelter from the night A raging rain's upon you feeling tired of the fight And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind Thier words carry over water, and fall back down to earth What follows is the silence as you contemplate their worth A vision comes before you, but the meaning's still unclear Standing at the threshold as you watch it disappear And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind
