I've seen love fade from a lovers eyes
Saw a ship sailed away on an evening tide
As the sun was slowly going down
I searched my heart and I wondered whyDoes everything I love slip through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the waves
They crash and roll awayFarewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything and everyone that i hold dear
Lord knows that i've prayed and cried
Before i see the other side
I hope i'll find the answer and it's finally clear
Before it all just disappearsLike a drop of rain falling in the sea
Or an ocean full of memories
I've seen this life take what I love
Have the wind blow it so far from meLike everything I love slips through my hands
Like water, like sand
It reminds me of the waves
They crash and roll awayand they just disappearFarewell to the setting sun
Goodbye just seems to come
For everything and everyone that i hold dear
Lord knows that i've prayed and cried
Before i see the other side
I hope i'll find the answer and it's finally clear
Before it all just disappearsWe've all faced an angry sky
With no safe place we could hide
Watch the dark clouds turn to light
With all our fears
From all these yearsThey just disappear
They just disappear
I just disappear
