the wind and the sand

I came across, the other day
A town with no name
And I walked those streets
All alone
I followed the paved walkways
The cracked cement from numbered days
And I wonder if you'd walked those streets
All alone

I made my way to the town's edge
And walked down to the river-bend
And found the tree
Where we carved our names
And in those names, I saw our life
I heard you laugh, thought I saw you cry
Ain't it crazy, we forget the things
That we engrave

I find myself at the shore again
Where we found ourselves every now and then
Where we drank all night
And slept all day
Now it's only me here
With my memories dancing on the pier
And a bottle of booze
To drink my thoughts away

I wake up to the sunrise
And what do I see in my eyes
I see you there
Walking down the shore
I run to you, just to hold you again
But you disappear
With the wind and the sand
I don't think I'll get to love you anymore
