Nostalgia/nos·tal·gi·a/noun: 1. Sentimental Recollection. A mixed feeling of happiness, sadness, and longing when recalling a person, place, or event from the past, or the past in general.
I left a piece of my soul on the dock that day
Could I have known I'd never return?
I turned my back as the ship sailed away
My senses came alive and my soul was awakened
Turned the bend, and found myself every time
Close to heaven, I saw God on that island
You committed crime
Fool to think I'd arrive once more, my soul to re-claim
You have gone there since
Alone with your secrets, can you bury the shame?
Our laughter can never again be heard in the cove
God turned His face away from your children
And brought you back to the place your daughters love
I'll rely on memories of the past
And I'll retrace every rock and wave in my mind
Bringing me to a peaceful place and simpler time
I left a piece of my soul on the dock that day
