Sea at Hua Hin

I knew my name in every town

Every train stop, every dawn

Men would turn when I walked by

Like a song they could not lose

I wore silk like it was smoke

Laughing with a crown of light

Now my dress hangs soft and still

By the sea in Hua Hin

One glass red

One empty chair

Salt in the air

And your shadow there

I was wanted, wanted

Across the country

I was shining, shining

Now the tide knows me

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

Hold my old heart gently

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

I still remember me

I had a son with your eyes

Small hands warm in mine

Then fate came quiet as rain

And took the house apart

I had a husband, strong and kind

He called me sweet in the dark

Now I lift my cup alone

To the blue beyond the sand

One glass red

One name untold

Two chairs in my soul

But the night feels cold

I was wanted, wanted

Across the country

I was shining, shining

Now the tide knows me

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

Hold my old heart gently

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

I still remember me

If youth was a fire

It left gold on my skin

If loss is my teacher

I learned how to live again

So I smile at the moon

And I let it pass through

I am not what I lost

I am what I outlived

I was wanted, wanted

Across the country

I was shining, shining

Now the tide knows me

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

Hold my old heart gently

Hua Hin, Hua Hin

I still remember me
