I thought the future would be different
All my problems would be solved
And I would be floating on air
Instead I am drowning in sentiment
And the fears that my emotions are real
I have filled the ground beneath my feet
With the tears that I gathered long ago
It was then that I floated upon your lives
A presence that made me happy
And when you left the air was dry
As was the meadow and the streets
And now that I am growing older
What I once thought was me
Is really you flowing out of my heart
There is no place I can go anymore
Without  seas and oceans surrounding me
And I know now why the rains have fallen
The tears of a lifetime were given to me
Because I knew you long ago
