Setting In the Western Ocean
Setting in the Western Ocean
The sun has watched me since dawn
It saw my anger
The depression that filled my mind
It saw the mistakes I made
And my fear of living
It gathered my pain within its fire
Carrying it across the sky
When the sun sets over the western ocean
It takes my problems along with it
The moon rises in the east
Bringing the coolness of the night with it
Allowing me to sleep
Taking me into a pleasurable world of dreams
Where my problems no longer exist
It is a place where I can live
Until the moon rests behind the western sea
And the day starts again
