The day we fell, as you held that shell,
Telling me to push and listen, from the breeze,
From overseas, we heard the songs of love lost.
Those days were hazy and full of crazy,
Where tomorrow never came. you beguiled
Whenever you smiled at an unknown hand.
But that was way back, drinking Bushmills black,
Telling our tales to the moon, when we talked all night
Till the morning light, and the stars fell into the blue
We had to dance because of the chance
That the music would die if we stopped.
You knew the last time for workers of rhyme
Would be when you swam that night.
We each left a word no one has heard,
So a part of us would ever be, when friendship
Bled with clothes shed, and were taken away by the sea.
But that was way back, drinking Bushmills black,
Telling our tales to the moon, when we talked all night
Till the morning light, and the stars fell into the blue
You said to see you later, my cute alligator,
I smiled you back in a while, but we both knew
Then there'd be no end as we turned and walked away.
But that was way back, drinking Bushmills black,
Telling our tales to the moon, when we talked all night
Till the morning light, and the stars fell into the blue.
I hope you are well, as I hold up that shell,
Trying to hear your voice.
It's there on the breeze, from over the seas,
Saying we were a love that lost.
