Midnight's Tide
Sitting by myself, i'm reflecting in the sand
Remembering the younger days…
I've gone back to where it all began
Everything is drifting away
Throughout midnight's tide
There i first walked through eden
And saw the painted october sky for the first time
I knew it was where i wanted to be
I knew it was where i wanted to stay
I will never forget what was born by a dream
I will never let go of what was given to me
I will never forget when i opened my eyes
To see what i was destined to be
Yesterday i returned to eden
I saw myself as a child outside at play
With a look of content- not a care in the world
So unprepared for the darkness that would fall down upon him
I can't change the past, so why even try?
The future is drifting through midnight's tide
As a child he was scared of tomorrow
Wasting many yesterdays being afraid
The spark of life never fueled the flame
Before long, the fire had faded away
I can't change the past… so why even try?
Here i am in eden today under the october sky again
Seeing myself face to face at last
Making my peace after so many years have passed
He knew who i was but he was so scared
And so afraid of what i may say
I remember his sadness and feeling his fear (again)
With every question, he shed so many more tears
