I did not see the storm
The sun was in my sight
Our love was just beginning
We danced upon the shore

I gazed into your eyes
Not knowing we would part
I held you in my arms
I tended to your cries

We reveled on the beach
While distant was a cloud
I did not think it menace
Or see a sign of breach

The cloud then cast a shadow
Was joined by fellows more
I thought the shade would pass
I thought the darkness shallow

We lay there in the calm
I nourished you with love
Nearby, a stranger strummed
And nurtured us with song

--

I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind
///
How wonderful life is
While you're in the world

--

These words I couldn't know
Would be the last I sang to you
My kiss upon your cheek
Would be the last of me to go

Sudden then the heavens seized
Through thund'rous rain their fury fell
Pain and shocking torrent stilled me
And I found it hard to breathe

Titan's wave then stole the tide
I tried to save my precious babe
Left you stranded on the pier
And sank before I said goodbye

From far beneath I heard your screams
Piercing wails through waters deep
The sound within my heart will echo
--

How I wish I'd seen the storm
Before my only child was lost
Before the ocean swallowed me
Before I drowned in heaven's scorn

O how I wish I'd seen the form
Of wind and water rising swift
Before it took you from my arms
I lost you in the stormI did not see the storm
The sun was in my sight
Our love was just beginning
We danced upon the shore

I gazed into your eyes
Not knowing we would part
I held you in my arms
I tended to your cries

We reveled on the beach
While distant was a cloud
I did not think it menace
Or see a sign of breach

The cloud then cast a shadow
Was joined by fellows more
I thought the shade would pass
I thought the darkness shallow

Nearby, a stranger strummed
And nurtured us with song
