So Long

Strokes out silent soft 
Summer came violent and cold

And across the growing canyon

She feeds a tortoise of isolation

"Why do you walk with me so slow?"

Said, "Fatigue? or are you in a trance?"

And I spoke

"I just want this moment to last"

See the crossroad waits ahead
An end for this heavenly ride

And yeah, I think about the things we said

When we lay side by side

Soon you'll return to a word of a distant past

And we'll be separated by the blades of growing grass

What's the meaning of this feeling?

Now that the moments are fleeting

Your coral reverie, your underwater ecstasy

Your aquatic charm, your mystical sea

I swam through, looking for you

And drifted back to the shore, beaten down and blue

Safety on the land, the heart is bland

Craving your hand, but it's time to disband

And yeah, I think about the dreams I've had

For so long

So long
