Lovers walk across the beach.
Tread carefully now;
Your footprints fade upon the sand.

Lovers float among the stars.
Reach gently now;
Your light diminishes with every dawn.

Lovers fall upon their dreams.
Weep softly now;
Your hopes impaled on lonely nights.

Lovers torn by lovers lies.
Leave quietly now;
Your regrets reveal those stolen times.
