It was here we made,
Our hearts swaying in the silent seas,
The final countdown of our seperate lives

With a shout and a whisper
And a wave of my hand
We found lover's lane
Behind your resting car

Frat boy dreams
Passing by
Witnessing as we gaze at each other
Look how the past interacts with the present

With your coral dress and seashell eyes
And the reminder of ancient secrets
Adorning your slender neck,
Radiant with the perfume of your longing,
I caught your kisses before the quiet moon
Who looked upon us as ghosts
In the tender moments of a Los Angeles sidewalk

I touched the sand that fell from your back
In gentle promises they created sparks
Falling toward my feet
And laugh though I may
Through my child's heart
I searched and searched
And found you

And now I see you go
Toward the soft darkness of the unknown membranes
Of this living creature
We call life
Caught in a flight toward that barely reachable light
Alone,
Cutting the cabletows that might pull you back

But for a time
No, a couple of nights
I'm glad to say I caught you
Held you on my finger
Like a ladybug
And now watch you fly away
