lyrics

tides (part 2)

change is here

and who knew?
(when nobody could have known)
and who saw?
(when nobody could see)
and whose testimony will be read
when the light goes out?
(I keep no records)
the brightness
scalds retina
a memory
in defiance of death
(when nothing escapes)

is this the last
are these the last
here are the last days
embraces
not great enough
(could anything have been great enough?)
to hold steady these souls
when the wave of change
swallows
engulfs
devours

I would have told you
(if I’d have known)
I could have held you
(if I knew)
I should have felt
the tides ebb and fade
ebb and fade
ebb and fade
away

and all the money in the world
cannot buy
and all the tea in china
cannot replace
what was there
is not there
no longer here
swept out from under the carpet
and into the long dark night


satisfaction
for the dissatisfied soul -
embrace change
open the floodgates
drown
(washed clean)

to be
and to never be
(although stillness can be found in the heart of a lake)
oh to be a lake
of such tiny proportions
a raindrop
a penny
raining unspoken
for each emotion
(and thought)
greater
than the “storm in a teacup” -
how presumptuous
how preposterous
(when the moon shone I knew better)

anger does not hold me
regret does not cloak me
memories do not choke me
but change calls me
into the dawn
where once you held me
where once you knew me
where once you saved me

could I lie here
and stay forever?
