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 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 this 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 in all you do   'Til then, send me a song      When the sun sets the water on fire   When the wind swells the sails of her hire   Let the call of the bird on the wind   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      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
