The tide's coming in, melting into the sand Grey foam kisses hissing good-byes. The earth sighs as air draws the heat from the land And puts on night's shadowy guise. So peaceful So calm Life goes on, as they say The sea roars the Same lullaby As surely it did When Poseidon himself Would listen to his daughters cry. The iodine salt in the wind Burns my eyes I'm grateful that you'll never know I crushed the last piece of my world in my fist And watched it pour through And you - go.
