Well, i stayed awake 'til the sun came up Like some distant memory. And i watched as the night and it's wisdom Disappeared right before me. I was picturing you in that dublin blue And i reached out in vain once again, Knowing that you're there and i'm here And there's so much out there in between. Like a post card i could try hard Somehow describing just what i feel... ..but its far too real. Staring out at the ocean Listening to the traffic below. Everybody's fueled by frustration, Still its only love making everyone go. The waves crash down i hear the sound Of the time-keeping tide, once again Reminding me its only life And i should feel free just to be. Like a stonewall i could stand tall Waving my flag claiming how i feel... ...but its far too real. As seagulls soar through the sunset they Leave their silhouettes of wind driven wings. I quietly watch what remains of the day And i listen as my soul sings. Shadows run long like a sad song And the night claims my tears once again. As i return to all i've learned Somehow i finally see the light. Like an old jar i could try hard Somehow containing just what i feel... ...but its far too real. I stayed awake 'til the sun came up Like some distant memory. And i watched as the night and her wisdom Disappeared right before me.
