The orange sun that warmed our day becomes an oval as it sinks into the bay we used to marvel at how fast it slips away without a fight, so comes the night
So come the waves across the sand so came the tides of time erasing what we'd planned and now the wind tugs at these letters in my hand the ones held tight against the night
Against the future looming like a cliff above me against the memories colliding below the hardest lesson that this tide is washing over me comes a time in life the only peace we'll know is letting go
And so this day gives in to night across the bay the clouds go scudding out of sight Like us the sky clings to it's memories of light but carries on when light is gone
I've scanned these words for what they teach and now I close my eyes to see behind the speech I let your letters fly like seagulls from the beach they float away, beyond the bay beyond my reach
