Shores of India - Ayreon

Travelling the world, port to port

Enriches my life, horizon in sight

I have seen wonders to last for a lifetime

The world here is mystic and new

The markets and colors, incense and scholars

Flavors and scents ever pure

Words that you sent, sweet Susanne

Ignite in my heart a brand new start

The darkest of skies make the brightest of stars shine

I see you and me

The dawn of an era, the birth of a new day

This constellation I see

And as the moon’s gazing down

On the shores of India

I am calling out your name

May the tides bear my words

Waves crashes down

On the shores of India

Did you summon them to me

Have they come to take me home

Salt water dew, see me through

Show me the way, lead me to you

Colors and spices, rich and enticing

This land captures me

Tropical thunders, musical wonders

The Arabian Sea

And as the moon’s gazing down

On the shores of India

I am calling out your name

May the tides bear my words

Waves crashes down

On the shores of India

Did you summon them to me

Have they come to take me home

I have seen wonders, guide me into your arms

I sent you the waves

Did they come here

To take you home to me

India, pearl of the east

Bless the holy waters

And protect me on my

Journey back to her
