...and counting...

4/06/2005

 
i was dwindling away
on a nice windy day
the calendar said april
but it felt more like may
and i knew that tomorrow
would exist
and i knew all the sorrow
would remiss
at least on such a day as this
a nice windy day
in the middle of the country
a hundred miles away
and i could smell the beach
the saltwater taste
was on my tongue
i felt myself submerge
i fell in love
and i don't have to pretend
if i just wait on the wind
if i just wait it will begin
and it will carry me
yes, it will send me floating
to the sea
it's hard as dark as it gets
to believe in love
but i believe in it
and sometimes it's hard to see the sun
but i know that it is lit
in the darkest part of night
if i just close my eyes
i will be surprised
how quickly the sunrise
comes to rescue me
if i just close my eyes
i will be suprised
how quickly the breeze
wakes me from the bad dreams
and floats me home
on such a day as this
