One You Left Behind, The - Eden's Bridge

I have lost my true and only love

To the waves and far away

To the listless sea, the cloudy skies

To a new and distant day

Though I know you must go

It is hard for me and so

In the eventide I cry

And I hope that you will think of me

The one you left behind

Under different skies you’ll do His work

Under different stars you’ll stay

I pray that when your work is done

That He’ll send you home someday

Every thought, every breath

Carries aching emptiness

For your loving arms I sigh

And I pray that you will think of me

The one you left behind

I would travel over water

I would race the river to the sea

I would give my home, my everything

Just to have you here with me

But my heart is alive

To the knowledge of His timing

And so 'tis here I’ll stay

'Til He sends you home to me again

To the one you left behind
