There's a stillness in her smile

That tells me this will all be fine

You know these things just come in waves

Take a breath

Give it some time

Then she lay down beside me watching

The final glowing embers

Of a day that took too long

And waltzed away much too soon

My mind is far too stormy to break the silence

I am watching auburn locks of hair

Float on breaths of salty air

This time will pass, I'm sure

And we may never feel like this again

I wish I could explain to you

The way I've felt since this began

But I was young and didn't know

The pain that would come

From letting you fade with the setting sun

My mind is far too stormy to break the silence

I am watching auburn locks of hair

Float on breaths of salty air

Though only for a moment

We both drank in the moon

And in hushed voices we spoke

Of what we dreamt to do

Years have passed, yet I still wonder

What if we had run away?

In my dreams I see your eyes

I'm begging you to stay

But my mind was far too stormy to break the silence

I am watching auburn locks of hair

Float on breaths of salty air

This time will pass, I'm sure

And we may never feel like this again

I wish I could explain to you

The way I've felt since this began

But I was young and didn't know

The pain that would come

From letting you fade with the setting sun

From letting you fade

From letting you fade

Letting you fade

Letting you fade with the setting sun
