Sometimes

Sometimes at the edge of sight

Something moves which isn't there

You turn to look but it's gone, it's gone

Was it ever really there

Yet it touches you

Softly touches you

And then it begins again

That scent of roses

The sound of the sea

A breath of wind on your face

They take you back

They take you there

To that place long ago

And you want so much

To hear those words

To feel that touch

But you can't go back

No you can't go back

Living in the moment

Is dangerous and blind

But ifyou look back too many times

The shapes distort and unwind

But they touched you

Softly touched you

And then it begins again

That scent of roses

The sound of the sea

A breath of wind on your face

They take you back

They take you there

To that place long ago

And you want so much

To hear those words

To feel that touch
