The Cliffside
They remind me of all that has been
Of all that cannot not be
I knew a girl
Radiant with angelic light
We loved each other
Gazed upon the stars every night
Nothing ever lasts
Only the stars up above
So I'll tell a tale
Of heartache, courtship and love
The wind wraps around me
Hair flowing in the breeze
And the seas below remind me
Of all that has been
Of all that will not be
She fell away from
The tender touch of happiness
I tried to help
But in vain, as she was lost within the mess
And the wind wraps around me
Hands float from my sides
And the rocks below taunt me
Of all that has been
Of all that will not be
The girl met a man
Who could help free her from the storm
I watched in dejection
As she went on to love him even more
The wind wraps around me
The sun sets sail for west
The tides that loom remind me
Of all that has been...
They walk, their hands entwined
Their beings bound in love
Footprints in the sand remind me
Of all that has been...
And the wind whips about me
The stars begin to fade
And the ocean foam embraces
All that has been
And all that can never be
