lyrics

I walked on the beach into the open of air
The prints that I followed were leading me there
The waves washed away all my presence of mind
Just a trace of the prints was all I could find
As they led to the rocks and the cliffs by the sea
With each careful step came a fresh memory
Of laughing and playing and dreaming as kids
My love never died but we both know yours did

Expendable like a foolish daydream
Things are not always how they seem
Motionless water reflecting colors alive
The sun says hello and the moon says goodbye
Goodbye

I walked in the rain for a vision once fed
As heaven sweet cries fought from drowning my head
In memories of you and a time that’s now lost
The line has been drawn and our friendship’s the cost
All puddles just form as they gather the rain
While I waited for you but you never once came
Just left standing alone as the rain hides my tears
Each falling drop screams for each falling of year

Expendable like a foolish daydream
Things are not always how they seem
Motionless water reflecting colors alive
The sun says hello and the moon says goodbye
Goodbye

Flying straight clean free
Flying straight clean free
Flying straight clean free
Flying straight clean free
