On the desert beach at night,
Where the ancient ocean ebbed,
I sit and watch eternally
As now the only waves are formed
By wind along more sand.

And up from the horizon dark,
A distant love with midnight blue
Winks through chilly stars that blink
From an open face as big
As the night sky.

And I'm not cold, and I'm not hot,
Not too warm, or anything but happy
To see the true reality
Of the night that comes before the day,
And the love that is
Forever.
