All You'Ll Never Get Back
Walks down by the harbor.
That cafe where are table still waits.
Times spent alone with you were golden.
So much more than just forgettable dates.
She knew what I could not understand.
Time is a gift.
A kiss of a raindrop is never ment to be kept in hand.
The steps of that old church still look out onto
the street.
Snow and time wash away the impressions.
Leaving only traces to every stranger I never truly meet.
Did it just disappear causing us to somehow lose track.
Does it seem pathetic.
To yern for all you'll never get back.
Couples see through me as easily as a ghost.
Maybe I should ramble.
But my soul will forever be attached to the coast.
Forgotten confessions are empty as to the city streets I tell.
How the young become old and bitter.
As reality shines through to show Im no longer under your spell.
For the night seems to gather the broken in a misfit pack.
Streetlights cast shadows that loom and hide.
As into a stranger I confide.
Dull has become the wit once sharp as a tack.
As I wonder do you ever reflect apon all you'll never get back.
