My cheeks are burning hot;
My thoughts are stuck together,
Melted into one ball
Of tired, dwelling hope
As I think back to when
I was yours,  you were mine
And this liquor did not
Taste like a bitter cure.
Memories endlessly
Dance in my mind tonight
As we had, in silence
On that dock, to the beat
Of our young, stubborn hearts.
The sun set behind us
And I should have known it;
In denial, I guess
I saw the colors,  thought
'They are our sunrise";
I was wrong,  that's okay;
I'll burn it all away
With these sips of champagne.
I am getting dizzy
And the world is not clear-
But was it ever so?
Perhaps I see better
In this cloud of raw grief
Than I ever had with
You.
