No Title

Seldom scene, a city in your dreams
It's been so long since I've passed that way
You've been there, so tell me what you've seen
For I have wandered too far astray
You have seen it lying in the valley
By the sea, in the setting sun
You were laughing in the golden shadows
Down the streets where we used to run
Now everyone's trying to find
The place that they've left behind
I hope that someday we will be
In the city beside the sea
Many times we'd stand upon the wall,
Looking up at the rising stars
Hand in hand, we'd listen to the ocean
For the tidings from afar
Nightbirds sang with bells out on the water
'Til at last our ship came in
I could not go anywhere without you--
Wouldn't know where to begin
But everyone's trying to find
The place that they've left behind
I hope that someday we will be
In the city beside the sea
It's been said that you can't look homeward, angel
It would just not be the same
It's been so long since I have seen the city
That I can't recall it's name
But it still stands in your imagination
And from our world it was made
Even though we'd like to live forever,
There's no way we could have stayed
So everyone's trying to find
The place that they've left behind
I hope that someday we will be
In the city beside the sea
