We met when
The sun was shining
Our hearts needed no mending
The world held us willingly
You used to say
You were ready for adventure
The cliffs of heaven are always near.
I never wondered about those hidden memories.
I never let that shadow come creeping in.
I always tried to make myself do it better.
But I was chained the day I let you down.
When we met
The sun was laughing
We never noticed how
It was tinged with black.
I felt the ties that held us onto this sphere.
Bound us still as our motors were racing.
Held our dreams beneathe the heavy cold stone.
On we struggled so intent on getting free.
Now our scars remind us of the battle.
Where the bars of the world
Marked us
Indefinitely.
When we met the sun was an iron.
Our hearts beat with defiance.
The world was unyielding.
You used to say
You were ready for adventure
The cliffs of heaven are always near.
That night the moon rose
You said it was a memory
Only just a memory
Nothing to see
A simple sensation
It would only hurt for a moment
As the waves replaced your breath.
We met when
The sun was shining.
Our hearts needed no mending
The world held us willingly
You used to say
You were ready for adventure
The cliffs of heaven are always near.
