Could I Remain Downhearted next song/previous song Late in the day I wandered by the estuary Looks like the cargo ships Are sailing on the land Standing tall, above the sea wall Sailing to who knows where Could I remain downhearted If you were only there Torn by the wind The old church offers sanctuary To black crows scratching at The consecrated ground Their friends are gone Gone to the sun Flying to God knows where Could I remain downhearted If you were only there It's such a lonely place And there's just an empty space You know I would not have a care If only you were there Late in the day I wandered by the estuary Looks like the cargo ships Are sailing on the land Standing tall, above the sea wall Sailing to who knows where Could I remain downhearted If you were only there ©2003 Dave Ellis & Boo Howard song index
