Beneath a Saffron Sky
I stand upon a lilac beach
Beneath a saffron sky
the ocean laps around my feet
I'm here again, but why
The trees of frozen fire
line the quiet shore
The second sun just rising
A sight that I adore
A stranger stands beside me
he's pointing out to sea
I shade my eyes from the glare
and wonder what could be
He walks into the water
and beckons me to follow
I trip and stumble on a rock
My heart, it's full of sorrow
Each time that I return here
I hope to see what lies
Beyond the waves where he walks
Beneath those saffron skies
