I've seen love fade from a lovers eyes Saw a ship sailed away on an evening time As the sun was slowly going down I've searched my heart and I wondered why Does everything I love slip through my hands like water, like sand? It reminds me of the waves, they crash and roll away Farewell to the setting sun Goodbye just seems to come for everything And everyone that I hold deep Lord knows I prayed and cried before I see the other side I hope I find the answer and it's finally clear Before it all just disappears Like a drop of rain falling in the sea Or an ocean full of memories I've seen this life take what I love And had the wind blow it so far from me Like everything I love slips through my hands like water, like sand It reminds me of the waves, they crash and roll away And they just disappear Farewell to the setting sun Goodbye just seems to come for everything And everyone that I hold deep Lord knows I prayed and cried before I see the other side I hope I find the answer and it's finally clear Before it all just disappears We've all faced an angry sky, with no safe place we could hide Watched the dark clouds turn to lie with all our fears All these years, they just disappear They just disappear I'll just disappear
