If You Can't Keep My Love

If my love is something hard to keep/
Please listen closely—listen, my sweet/
Through times good and bad, through the worst of weather/
We’ll always have here, this beach, this together/

A place to call our very own/
A instinct we have always known/
Just look at the sunset, look at the waves/
This place is ours through hours and days/

If you can’t keep my love, I’ll wish you still more/
Eyes to see the world to its core/
Ears to listen, and listen well/
A nose to help you search and smell/

I wish you wings/
That you might up and fly/
I wish you no clouds/
Amongst your blue sky/

And I wish that you might always/
Think dearly of me/
I wish that you’ll still/
Call me family.
