With the lights out, I can see forever
A million stars in the sky
A million fires burning
A million miles away
And I come here every night looking for her
I walk along the shore in hopes she might come back
Rip away the blindfold I have been wearing for so long now
Show me all the things that are locked inside the corners of my mind
She used to dance in these shallows
Prance in the turbulent waters where they crashed into the sand
And I lived in her wake
Inhabited her dreams
Watched through her eyes as she attempted to conquer her demons
And god she was beautiful in her struggles
And a goddess in her triumphs
She used to shine brighter than the sun
And I was there to witness everything
Then one day I lost focus
Life stepped in and lead me away
It’s been many years and many tears since I’ve seen her
But I still remember the fire in her eyes
I can still feel the flames of excitement and wonder
They burn deep within me even now as I look out across the gulf
It’s been many year and many tears since I’ve seen her
But the hope still remains that we will meet again
The part of me I left behind one early summer’s day
