I left the room,
I walked down the hall,
Past the new mothers,
I turned round the corner,
Through doors at the back
I saw some old friends from school,
A banquet and prom dresses,
I didnât go in.
One moment I swam there,
In daylight,
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself.
Further down the hall,
I saw him standing in a tux,
Wide-open hands,
I floated to his smile,
He wrapped his arms around me
And didnât say a word,
I could feel all his friendship,
Could feel love.
One moment I swam there
In daylight,
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself.
I turned one last corner
Into a room,
Coffins and flowers,
The stillness of death,
But you,
I saw you there
Sitting at a table,
Sad laughter with friends,
A beautiful girl
Dressed like a queen,
The searching could end,
Thereâs nothing else I need,
I moved past the dead,
I moved to your arms,
But you couldnât see,
You didnât look up.
One moment I swam there
In daylight,
Where did it all go away?
Fear of the truth
When the ocean
Emptied itself.
