Lyrics:
Silence broken,
I told you everything I knew
You weren’t ready for it,
but somehow believed it too
I left you with a bag of bells,
and a letter of all my truths
I couldn’t tell how you’d feel,
but now your words are proof
I’ve wondered all these years on years
If you could ever could come back to me
I saw your life as a set piece
You saw me out there roaming free
But freedom is just an uttered word
When your heart’s locked in a box
Now I know I’ve found the key
And all these years have fallen off
Chorus:
How is it we’ve come so far
But there’s dust still in our eyes
The sands still have dunes to feed
And they rise up like the tides
We’re looking o’er parted waters
Trying desperately to find
A way to bring them down again
And leave the past behind
Perhaps if it were a sunny day
And flowers had early bloomed
The birds were greeting May’s sweet face
As she held the hands of June
Surely a tempest would be sent
In the eyes of such a sight
For beauty and art, like all the rest
Must wait till timing’s right
And tempests dear, and dark cold nights
Will be there on our path
I’ve never known a love poem
To shed the verses of its wrath
But like a shield I’ll wear our truths
We uttered despite fears
A cloak much stronger than the storms
One that’s held me through the years
Chorus:
How is it we’ve come so far
But there’s dust still in our eyes
The sands still have dunes to feed
And they rise up like the tides
We’re looking o’er parted waters
Trying desperately to find
A way to bring them down again
And leave the past behind
