One day we'd reach the great ocean
At the end of a pale afternoon
And we'd lay down our heads just like we were sleeping
And be towed by the drag of the moon

ribboned shadows encompass our love
bound up forever in memories of yesterday
i first knew myself with you
in the time we?ve lost forever, flown away

beneath these sounds of sorrowed hope
we never once glanced at the clock?s repetitive path
it seemed so simple and straight-forward
never did we think we?d be separated by time?s wrath

careening echoes as I lie here alone
i think i could be pulled under by them
where it is calm and just once more
i could be with you and no one to condemn

buried in your quiet hugs
and the silent laughter of your smile
you graced each moment with the magic
of our games pretend, carefree and wild

you were mine, and I was yours
and children we forever were
we played at night beneath starlight
before our magic succumbed to life?s unforgiving blur

i remember faintly through the mists of growth
playing in the gardens of those times we?ve lost
you were pure white but for that bit of black
progress for which we strive when our love is the cost

i still hear those whispers, soft as firefly dance
calling to me in the quiet moments
when I?ve forgotten how i miss you so
and it is then i am broken and for our love i repent

you only have a year to 'grow up'

and blah at the rest of it because it seems you already are
