Washed Away

I ran down to the brook and sat in the shade,
and dreamed of all the little things that fade...
But it all just washed away...
Down the stream from blue to grey...

I ran down to the brook and sat by the stones,
I wrote of all the places I never got to show..
But it all just washed away...
A free fall form the rocks today..

I ran down to the brook and sat in the shade,
and lost myself in plans that we made...
But it all just washed away...
Like two lost raindrops that got away..
