Silence And Sound

Moving On
Chorus
I was watching the waves break on the shore,
Breathing in the sea mist where we met before.
I was dreaming ’bout you once again,
’Bout the way it used to be,
That summer sky, that beach,
Just you and me.

Oh, baby… oh, baby… oh-oh-oh,
I miss you so.
I miss your touch,
God, I miss you so much.
Even though you’re gone, gone so far,
Baby, baby, maybe you’re
Somewhere up there amongst the stars.

But baby, baby, baby,
I’m moving on.
Yeah, I’m moving on,
And I’ve found someone.

Verse 1
We met down on the shore,
You were everything I wanted,
Everything and more.
Strangers at first,
I was hungry for love,
You quenched my thirst.

You smiled, we talked,
We laughed, we walked.
The moon came up,
And you reached for my hand.
Pulled me close,
And there we lay upon the sand.

We'd only just met,
But somehow it felt right.
We kissed beneath the moon
Till the morning turned to light.

Pre-Chorus
And I can still feel you
When the ocean starts to roar.
I can still hear your voice
Like I heard it all before.

But life keeps moving,
Even when your heart says no.
Sometimes you have to let go
Of the one you can't let go.

Chorus
I was watching the waves break on the shore,
Breathing in the sea mist where we met before.
I was dreaming ’bout you once again,
’Bout the way it used to be,
That summer sky, that beach,
Just you and me.

Oh, baby… oh, baby… oh-oh-oh,
I miss you so.
I miss your touch,
God, I miss you so much.
Even though you’re gone, gone so far,
Baby, baby, maybe you’re
Somewhere up there amongst the stars.

But baby, baby, baby,
I’m moving on.
Yeah, I’m moving on,
And I’ve found someone.

Verse 2
I know what to do now,
Baby, I got a plan.
I finally found somebody,
I got myself another man.

No more lonely nights,
No more whisky on my own.
No more staring at your number,
Wondering if I should call your phone.

I know it isn't easy,
And I know I'll still cry.
But I can't spend forever
Just asking myself why.

Verse 3
If I could turn the clock back,
Stop that argument,
Maybe you'd never have driven
So fast that night again.

I watched you fade away,
As they pulled the plug.
I held on to your memory
When I couldn't hold you up.

They laid you in the ground,
And the priest gave me a hug.
But nobody could tell me
How to live without your love.

Bridge
Sometimes I blame myself,
Sometimes I blame the night.
Sometimes I close my eyes
And you're still by my side.

If I could say one thing
Before I let you go,
I'd say I'm sorry, darling.
I loved you more than you know.

And if you're somewhere listening,
I hope you hear me say:

I'll carry you forever,
But I can't live that way.

Verse 4
So I'm here telling you
I've found somebody new.
He's tall and he's got something
That reminds me of you.

When the wind starts blowing,
And the trees begin to sway,
When the moon lights up the night,
I still think of you that way.

But this new love is different,
And I'm learning to believe
That loving someone else
Doesn't mean I'm forgetting you and me.

Verse 5
The memories of you
Will always live in me,
Spinning through my mind—
Just you and me.

Darling, I hope you can forgive me
For the words I said.
'Cause sometimes late at night
I still feel like it's my fault you're dead.

But I'm tired of carrying
All this guilt inside.
So I'll keep your love with me
And leave the pain behind.

Final Chorus
I was watching the waves break on the shore,
Breathing in the sea mist where we met before.
I was dreaming ’bout you one more time,
But now I finally see—
That beach, that sky,
Will always be a part of me.

Oh, baby… oh, baby… oh-oh-oh,
I miss you so.
I miss your touch,
God, I miss you so much.
Even though you’re gone, gone so far,
Baby, baby, maybe you’re
Somewhere up there amongst the stars.

But baby, baby, baby,
I’m moving on.
Yeah, I’m moving on.
I’ve found someone.

I’ll never forget you,
But I’m moving on.
I’ll carry your memory,
But I’m moving on.

Outro
Oh, baby…
I miss you so.
But the tide keeps turning,
And the years keep rolling on.

I loved you then,
I’ll remember you always…

But baby, baby, baby,
I’m moving on.
