I felt the sunrise that was the warmth of your face,

But even in the heat my tears felt the same

Burned too hot so even the ice gave chase

And still I can remember your name

 

I listened for the whisper that would remind,

But even the ocean fell silent tonight

City lights make the stars hard to find

And still you remain hidden from sight

 

I waited by the shore beside strangers

But forgot why I stood there so long

Cast the coins like so many wagers

And still my memories are wrong

 

I forgot you on purpose to stop the bleeding

But too late for that, I am drained and blue

Blood for my sins, a blotted meaning

And still I am cursed by memory of you
