Sunlight - Maggie Reilly

Sunlight on the water, reflecting in your eyes

You smiling move towards me, under those blue skies

Waist deep in the water, you lifting up your hand

No sun was ever stronger, a golden wonderland

Here in the city, just endless gray

No rest, no silence, as you fade away

I try to find you in all my dreams

Lost illusion, never as it seems

Sunlight fills my mind you’re never far away

Oh how I long for you

Ask me to stay with you forever and a day

I’ll run to you, I’ll run to you

Now time just stands frozen

That smile fixed on your face

Reflections on the water

Two figures lost in space

Here in the city I find no sleep

I feel so helpless, I am in too deep

I’ve tried to find you down all the days

And you come to haunt me, take my breath away

Sunlight fills my mind you’re never far away

Oh how I long for you

Ask me to stay with you forever and a day

I’ll run to you, I’ll run to you

Now sand and sea still touch me

Upon that distant shore

You holding out your silence

To keep for evermore

Here in the city, I can find no sleep

I feel so helpless, I am in too deep

I’ve tried to find you down all the days

And you came to haunt me, take my breath away

To take my breath away…

Holding out your silence to keep for evermore…

Take my breath away…
