I've seen love fade from a lovers eyes
Saw a ship sailed away on an evening tide
As the sun was slowly going down
I searched my heart and I wondered why
Does everything I love slip through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the waves
They crash and roll away
Farewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything in everyone that i hold dear
Lord knows that i've prayed and cry
Before i see the other side
I hope i'll find the answer and its finally clear
Before it all just disappears
Like a drop of rain falling in the sea
Or an ocean full of memories
I've seen this life take what I love
Have the wind blown it so far from me
Like everything I love slips through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the ways
They crash and roll away
and they just disappear
Farewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything in everyone that i hold dear
Who knows that i've prayed and cry
Before i see the other side
I hope i'll find the answer and its finally clear
Before it all just disappears
We've all faced an angry sky
With no safe place we could hide
Watch the dark clouds turn to light
With all our fears
With all these years
They just disappear
They just disappear
I just disappear
