Farthest Shore
Lyricist：David Wilcox
We were there in the woods by the water
We left our packs up against that willow tree
We dove right in, keeping just what we were born with
And our memories, knowledge and our dreams
And as I swam away from our possessions
I imagined that they were gone forever more
And for once, I was glad that all I treasured
Would still be with me as I reached other shore
So let me dive into the water
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Except what I remember and believe
And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
After the blaze burned our cabin down to ashes
Where we'd slept warm, now the sky lets in the rain
I found the strings, frets and rusted latches
But I will never hear that old guitar again
These four walls are only in my memory
Where these stone steps rise to nothing in the air

So one last look and I'm headed for the river
To wash my hands and try to say this prayer
Let me dive into the water
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Except what I remember and believe
And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
When my time to live this life is over
I'll tip my hat when I think about that swim
And of all the things that make a life worth living
That only come to those who dive right in
So let me dive into the water
Leave behind all that I've worked for
Except what I remember and believe
And when I stand on the farthest shore, I will have all I need
All I need
Let me dive into the water
It's all I need
