I've seen love fade from a lover's eyes
Saw a ship sail away on an evening tide
As the sun was slowly going down
I searched my heart and I wondered why
Does everything I love slip through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the waves
They crash and roll away
Farewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything and everyone that I hold dear
Lord knows I've prayed and cried
Before I see the other side
I hope I find the answer and it's finally clear
Before it all just disappears
Like a drop of rain falling in the sea
Or an ocean full of memories
I've seen this life take what I love
Had the wind blow it so far from me
Like everything I love
Slips through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the waves
They crash and roll away
And they just disappear
Farewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything and everyone that I hold dear






Lord knows I've prayed and cried
Before I see the other side
I hope I find the answer and it's finally clear
Before it all just disappears
We've all faced an angry sky
With no sign of the future
A safe place we could hide
Watched the dark clouds turn to light
With all our fears
And all these years
They just disappear
They just disappear
I just disappear
I'll see you next time.
