Waves drift ashore   and wash away the white dress that you wore   In days when you were young inside   And wiped away the tears of darkness from my eyes   and cleansed away the fears behind my empty eyes   Where have you gone?      Birds dip and glide   Silently they scan the barren skies   And waters dark and deep   You didn't see me, nor did you realize   Oh why was it you never realized   How far you'd gone?      And how the waves embraced you   You lay down between them, disappearing from my eyes   Swallowed up so quickly, that I knew that I just had to run away      Will I ever see you?   Forever is a longer time than we can know   Sleeping softly in the ocean's silent womb   I won't disturb you telling of my simple woes   And how a young boy dreamed the same dream long ago,   and still today      And how the waves embraced you   You lay down between them, disappearing from my eyes   Swallowed up so quickly, that I knew that I just had to run away
