  • On a night just like this, in a place far away
    He met with a girl in the spring
    And something about him just turned her around
    As though she were caught on a string
    And being so young they held on to each other
    To see what the moment might bring
    He loved her then in a secretive way
    Not showing his care or his need
    She stayed beside him and looked to the day
    He would somehow begin to be free
    In the chill of the night she would hold him and say
    This is how they always should be

    Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
    Keep it in mind,
    If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
    Don't forget me

    And so he come to depend on her more
    Though the lesson was still to be learned,
    Taking for granted the gift that she gave
    As though it were something he'd earned
    And she for her part growing slowly away
    From a love that was never returned
    Then came the day that he never foresaw
    When he woke to find she was gone
    He followed her then to the ends of the world
    To tell her how much he'd been wrong
    But the more he called her, the more she was lost
    Leaving only the words of her song

    Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
    Keep it in mind,
    If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
    Don't forget me

    He still listens out for her foot on the stair
    As he looks for her down through the years
    And the friends that he had have all left one by one
    For their words weren't reaching his ears
    He chooses instead now to wander alone
    To a song that only he hears

    Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea
    Keep it in mind,
    If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me
    Don't forget me Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
