I've seen love fade from a lovers eyes Saw a ship sailed away on an evening tide As the sun was slowly going down I searched my heart and I wondered why Does everything I love slip through my hands Like water, like sand It reminds me of the waves They crash and roll away Farewell to the setting sun Goodbye just seems to come For everything in everyone that i hold dear Lord knows that i've prayed and cry Before i see the other side I hope i'll find the answer and its finally clear Before it all just disappears Like a drop of rain falling in the sea Or an ocean full of memories I've seen this life take what I love Have the wind blown it so far from me Like everything I love slips through my hands Like water, like sand It reminds me of the ways They crash and roll away And they just disappear Farewell to the setting sun Goodbye just seems to come For everything in everyone that i hold dear Who knows that i've prayed and cry Before i see the other side I hope i'll find the answer and its finally clear Before it all just disappears We've all faced an angry sky With no safe place we could hide Watch the dark clouds turn to light With all our fears With all these years They just disappear They just disappear I just disappear
