We used to walk this road together hand in hand
And make melody with rhythms that none could understand
We used to mark this pathway under this sunlight
And trust it's direction as we walk it through the night

Then came the winds
and swept away our sandy shores
Forcing trees to bend over windows
and barr all our doors

Tranquillity once lived with us but we didn’t know what for
Until one day, we woke up to chaos, and she was no more
Without warnings or announcement she just packed a left
From sunrise we searched until the sun had set
But all we ever found were memories she left behind
The memories of strength before the winds broke her spine

There used to be us before the coming of the rain
Before there ever was the sowing of a seed of grain
Tales of the bond we shared crossed the shores of everywhere
There used to be us before we vanished into thin air
