To Edgar.  Love Annabel.

Do not linger here my lover,
To hear waves break without a sound.
Where any tear that crashes downward,
Leaves a crater on the ground.

Do not linger here my lover,
You're out of time to waste,
Rememb'ring how the murky swells,
Made us salty to the taste.

Do not linger here my lover,
Precious as this place may be.
You cannot relive the past, my love,
Even if you dream of me.

Do not linger here my lover,
Forget the sensation as we kissed.
Do not recall the way you held me,
Your soft hand upon my wrist.

Do not linger here my lover,
To hold one departed from this sea;
For though you clasp me in your arms,
I am far away from thee.
