As the days and nights go by, I sailed the widest seas

And all the winds of change could never beat the best of me

I loved that wide wide sea

Until I docked the shores of Eternity

Her name I’ll call her “Eternity”

Hers shoreline. It’s my destiny.

For now that I’ve met her

She’ll never leave me

So go on get tough tell me your mentally strong

Once you find her shoreline and won’t be long

But you won’t belong.

Because her hearts with me.

I’ll never be late for a chance that won’t come again.

I’ll cringe at the thought that I’ll never know when

I’m fearing my fate is a wide wide ...eternity.

While forcing my fate is a key that won’t set my free

Her name I’ll call her “Eternity”

Hers shoreline. It’s my destiny.

Now the days and nights go by ...I sail the widest seas...

Now the days and nights gone by, I’ve sailed the widest seas.

And all the winds of change seem to beat the best of me.

I loved that wide wide sea

Now I find I’m sailing, searching for “Eternity”

Wide Wide Eternity is one of my favorite songs.  The fact I refer to this woman as an island and her name is Eternity is a double entendre (understood two ways).  But in this case my double entendre could be understood three ways.  The girl, the island and the search. And the girl as an island is yet another double entendre.   It was a complex thought easily understood.

This song is about the one that got away.  It’s about someone I knew that despite her moving on in life, she would never do better than me.  And sadly we would both spend the rest of days isolated and alone regardless of how well we did in life and who we knew. 

I knew that we had touched each other in a way that only two star crossed lovers could.  We took from each other the gift of being at peace while alone.  We took the fun out of being alone from each other and we were damned to search the world out trying to replace that feeling that some of us never find once in a lifetime.  Why should we be so selfish as to think we could find it twice.  I knew. I knew I couldn’t replace that feeling because she was irreplaceable.  I never found out if she felt the same way about me.  I guess I’ll never know.
