“What was it you said to me, Rose? Right before Steven was born…”

“Take the wave, now, and know that you’re free.”

“Turn your back on the land, face the sea.”

“Face the wind, now, so wild and so strong…”

“When you think of me, wave to me and send me a song.”

“Don’t look back when you reach the new shore. Don’t forget what you’re leaving me for.”

“Don’t forget when you’re missing me so…”

“Love must never hold, never hold tight…”

“…but let go.”

“…”

“Oh, the nights will be long when I’m not in your arms…”

“But I’ll be in your song…that you sing to me, across the sea.”

“Somehow, someday…

“You will be far away, so far from me…”

“And, maybe, one day…I will follow you, and all you do.”

“'Til then…send me a song.”

“When the sun sets the water on fire…“

“When the wind swells the sails ever higher…”

“Let the call of the bird on the wing calm your sadness, and loneliness, and then start to sing to me!”

“I will sing!”

“To you!”



“If you promise…to send me a song.”

“And I walk by the shore, and I hear…”

“Hear your song come so faint, and so clear–”

“And I catch it, a breath on the wind,”

“And I smile, and I sing you a song…”

“ I will send you a song…”

“I will sing you a song, I will sing to you…”

“If you promise…to send me a song.”
