Almost Young

Walk down the stairs
Look around but
No one’s waiting
Look into my eyes
Feel my spine
Breaking
Strangest memory
Maybe you were just
Passing by
I’m old
And solemn
And you’re gone
I put on my bravest face
Pretend I hold it down
Forcefully prevail
Master of my own

All around us
Roots were growing down
Winters were soft
We sowed love in clouds

But we didn’t care
For those things
Left to say
And we didn’t know
Our days
Would end this way

I see she’s gone
Oh Time took its toll
My love returned to the sea
Oh she chose to be free

Two ghosts in a story
Two faces in the sun
Through the years

Remains of sun and snow
We stole from times
Of love

A Song that has been sung
Of when we were
Almost Young

I see she’s gone
And I believe in the sea
Time took its toll
She chose to be free
