Shimmering Sunsets

Underneath the ash and ruins, I’ve been stumbling upon your guilt, woes and shame The wild fires of our hearts are aflame by our sins I’ve been looking all over for you and there’s no one to blame Shimmering sunsets will embrace your doubts into hopes and cheers Sun-drenched sunrises will give you grace and push away your fears Shimmering sunsets is in your eyes ashore…what are we waiting for? But when you decide to mourn bitterly, hopelessly and severely, It makes me want to cry once more…I’ve felt crimson remorse to the core I was born to help you thrive and fight the good fight and I do it sincerely Beneath the sorrows of yesterday’s tomorrow — terrified — I’ve been left to myself and fought these lonesome tears alone The deep sea of our miseries transform into a terribly tranquil tide I’ve been searching all over for you and I found you on your own Shimmering sunsets will embrace your doubts into hopes and cheers Sun-drenched sunrises will give you grace and push away your fears Shimmering sunsets is in your eyes ashore…what are we waiting for? But when you decide to mourn bitterly, hopelessly and severely, It makes me want to cry once more…I’ve felt crimson remorse to the core I was born to help you thrive and fight the good fight and I do it sincerely I’ve been reminiscing about the times we were in the sun I remember the times we squandered as we made a run Into the whirling wind and the many happy-go-lucky hills Into the thunderous storms of our childhood thrills Shimmering sunsets will embrace your doubts into hopes and cheers Sun-drenched sunrises will give you grace and push away your fears Shimmering sunsets is in your eyes ashore…what are we waiting for? But when you decide to mourn bitterly, hopelessly and severely, It makes me want to cry once more…I’ve felt crimson remorse to the core I was born to help you thrive and fight the good fight and I do it sincerely Fight the good fight With your might tonight Take flight without a fright Can’t stop sweet tomorrow from coming forward Hold on to me if you’re falling apart any nights or days Take heart as we part ways Watching the seagulls and their sways Won’t stop yesterday from making me a captive bird Welcome in adventures all night and day Watching your spirits stray…wanting it to stay… Shimmering sunsets will be our hopeful happiness today
