Mayflies in the Fading Sun

There was a light in this town,

It had a really nice sparkle.

I was about to forget, but you

Were on your way to remember.

Like a flash in the sky,

It was a day in December.

And we’re moving on

Until the void is gone.

You don’t know until you’ve lost somebody,

Truly lost someone, oh yeah.

You don’t know until you’re part of something,

You believe is true.

Caught in the rush of this town,

Caught in a conversation.

Almost forgot the tunes we played.

You were the steady rock

When I was going in circles.

You had so much to give,

So you did.

How am I holding on

When your hands are gone?

You don’t know until you’ve lost somebody,

Truly lost someone, oh yeah.

You don’t know until you’re part of something,

You believe is true. Oh yeah

We all break, one by one

Mayflies in the fading sun.

Another time, another space,

Intertwined yesterdays.
