Sinking Ship

In days past we walked down a beach
hand in hand discussing our futures
stars in our eyes as we dreamed

Now the future is here but you are gone
I have not hand to hold
stars have turned to tears

every grain of sand we touched
washed away from the shore to
lay on the bottom of the ocean floor

that is where our star struck dreams lay
left for the fishes and dark
as I sit here alone

I wonder as I walk this beach anew
how my heart is still locked
when I know the key you hold
can stop this clock of flowing tears

In days past we walked down this beach
making promises that we could not keep
yet, I need your hand back in mine

You have been my anchor in the storms
of my past and I am being tossed about
why can't you see I am sinking

I will sink to the bottom of the sea
to find those sunk dreams
if only to feel the memory of your love
