I don't want to tell you How I felt that morning When I saw you Your face saying no I didn't want to tell you I lost it long ago That morning, how I hated To tell you I must go I asked you that morning All you said was, "I don't know" So I left you that morning With no place to go, oh oh oh
I drove to the ocean And waited for the tide I waited in the ripples And played in the sand I felt the cool rhythms Flow across my hand I sat there and wondered If you'd ever understand How could I have stayed It's too much, too deep And so I left you that morning Hoping you'd understand, oh
