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.
