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
