Shipwrecked
I close my eyes
Go back to another time
I can’t imagine you’ll ever know
My apology is long past due
We used to talk about the future
Now I reminisce the past
But, time is indifferent
I can’t remake what I unmade
Rain on me
As I walk along the beach
Footprints in the sand
Washed away by the sea
We wait for that magic moment
Can’t see when it arrives
Seems so long I’ve been waiting
Still don’t know what for
Its too late to express
At how selfish I had been
Now I’m shipwrecked on an island
Of my own design
Rain on me
As I walk along the beach
Footprints in the sand
Washed away by the sea
With too much time to contemplate
What could and might have been
I’d write an SOS in the sand
But, who would rescue me
Sorry's not enough
For how I treated you
Without me the sun will continue to shine
Without you my love is blue
Rain on me
As I walk along the beach
Footprints in the sand
Washed away by the sea
I can’t imagine you’ll ever know
That I know where you are
As much as I want to reach out
Things are best left as they are
