about

This song was written after a friend of mine came to stay, and I realized that perhaps we were growing apart. I wrote this song in about 20 minutes. I have an old recording of it, but it's messed up. I was never able to recapture the emotion in it.

lyrics

The milk we drank together on the beach ran dry as we asked for a second round
But the bar was closing down
And we said, "We'd better head for higher ground, before the tide comes rolling in."
To carry us a wayward in a sentence that neither of us can understand
We stood on the beach and shook hands as we said
"Is this goodbye?"
It could be

Don't count me out for the good times
For the good times make for the best of
goodbyes

So we both walked our separate ways leaving footprints in the sand
Leading back to a place we would never stand again
Never feel the grains of sand beneath our feet
Sloping to the bottom of the hourglass

The Timekeeper of our lives remembers the beach as I do
How I once stood there with you
And I thought it goes on for miles
With sun in all directions
Is there no end?

We knew there was
