On the beach overseas

Icy water slaps at our knees

And the buoy was signaling

As if it knew we were far from home

And you looked at me

And all I could see

Were the lights that were flickering

And suddenly we were all alone

It's not an impossible thing to do

And I'm helpless to do anything for you

Can't keep from wondering

You were under a spell

Waiting for time to tell

If I could, you know I would,

Accept this moment and sympathize

Then you looked at me

And all I can see

Were the walls closing in again

And the desperation in your eyes

It's not an impossible thing to do

I know there's a better life for you

I can't keep from wondering

It's not an impossible thing to do

And I'm helpless to say anything to you

I want to see a better life for you

I can't keep from wondering
