Dublin Blue

Well, i stayed awake 'til the sun came up
like some distant memory.
and i watched as the night and it's wisdom
disappeared right before me.

I was picturing you in that dublin blue
and i reached out in vain once again,
knowing that you're there and i'm here
and there's so much out there in between.

Like a post card i could try hard
somehow describing just what i feel...
..but its far too real.

Staring out at the ocean
listening to the traffic below.
everybody's fueled by frustration,
still its only love making everyone go.

The waves crash down i hear the sound
of the time-keeping tide, once again
reminding me its only life
and i should feel free just to be.

Like a stonewall i could stand tall
waving my flag claiming how i feel...
...but its far too real.

As seagulls soar through the sunset they
leave their silhouettes of wind driven wings.
i quietly watch what remains of the day
and i listen as my soul sings.

Shadows run long like a sad song
and the night claims my tears once again.
as i return to all i've learned
somehow i finally see the light.

Like an old jar i could try hard
somehow containing just what i feel...
...but its far too real.

I stayed awake 'til the sun came up
like some distant memory.
and i watched as the night and her wisdom
disappeared right before me.
