Moonlight on the water, the sound of the ocean
Sitting by myself, i'm reflecting in the sand
Remembering the younger days…
I've gone back to where it all began
Everything is drifting away
Throughout midnight's tide
There i first walked through eden
And saw the painted october sky for the first time
I knew it was where i wanted to be
I knew it was where i wanted to stay
I will never forget what was born by a dream
I will never let go of what was given to me
I will never forget when i opened my eyes
To see what i was destined to be
Yesterday i returned to eden
I saw myself as a child outside at play
With a look of content- not a care in the world
So unprepared for the darkness that would fall down upon him
I can't change the past, so why even try?
The future is drifting through midnight's tide
As a child he was scared of tomorrow
Wasting many yesterdays being afraid
The spark of life never fueled the flame
Before long, the fire had faded away
I can't change the past… so why even try?
Here i am in eden today under the october sky again
Seeing myself face to face at last
Making my peace after so many years have passed
He knew who i was but he was so scared
And so afraid of what i may say
I remember his sadness and feeling his fear (again)
With every question, he shed so many more tears
