Thirty Years

Chasing rainbows for a lifetime

then left you girl {left to go}

Like shadows from the sun,

Run into traces

Of faces you thought you saw

But never seemed to mean much more {But never seemed to me much more}

than echoes of a day gone by {echoes of a day gone by}

When someone else would have to try

To light the stars

......In your sky.

[Your dark sky]

 

All the things you planned

Just sand castles washed away

On tidal waves of tears,

fears overpowering

Your complex dreams just slither down

drowning in rocky pools,

Or smashed and dashed

On peril's course, divorcing prematurely

thoughts {On peril's course, forcing prematurely}

Of lasting love

......In your life.

 

Sometime when you've time to spare {Sometime we need time to spare}

Feeling of missed opportunity

Spare a tear and douse your bridge...

burning

30 years and on the ledge....

learning

 

All the things you planned

[baby]

30 years in bed.
