I remember the day your eyes set on me,

I fell to my knees on the cliff,

Watching the green sea make love to blue skies,

Stumbling on my own feet,

And days of regret,

I fall on to my memories,

Into this day of reckoning,

Embracing this moment of freedom,

Twisted revelations,

I fall into goodbye songs to my comrades,

We have fallen into many battles together,

Conquered so many nights,

Fell into each other's arms,

In nights of 7 and 7's,

Jack and cokes,

Tanqueray and tonics,

Wishful dreams,

Endless visions,

I feel each of you,

And reach into my own sky line,

Seeking out my own strain of moonlight,

My own ray of sunshine.

Someplace where I can find stars in the midday,

Ocean breezes in the desert night,

Touch the limits of the soul,

Kiss the lips with meaning,

Roll down my road,

With a tear and a smile waving good-bye,

Like a thief in the midnight,

Strolling down roads,

Licking the salt of my wounds ,

Counting tear drops on the sidewalk.

So I shed off a few more pieces from my shell,

Try to function with a glance.

Hiding my instincts,

Tucking into my pockets a couple grains of California sand,

Bottle caps from my favorite bars,

Thinking ahead to Arizona,

Your side,

Your touch,

The stroke of your desert breeze.

Thinking ahead to Texas,

The taste of your carne asada,

Fresh tortillas,

Cold coronas counting armadillos,

Thinking of you Florida,

The warmth of you tropical love,

The sweat of your humidity,

Shade of your palm trees,

I run to my greatest adventure,

With a smile and a tear,

With no courage to say good - bye,

To you my brothers,

My friends,

We have conquered many nights,

Time for me to take flight,

And conquer my own night
