the tide's going out,

and,

the gulls are silent.

I touch your hand,

you touch my face,

and,

we wonder where the time went.

The sun's getting higher,

the sun's getting lower,

and,

the gulls begin to cry.

I look towards you,

you look towards me,

and,

I begin to cry.

You hold me closer,

I hug you tighter,

then,

we say good-bye.

The sun's going down,

the tide's coming in,

and,

the gulls fly off to the docks.

I look to the side of me,

there's nothing there,

'cept,

a memory, a dream, and a rock.

Today is today,

tomorrow is forever,

but yesterday is in my heart,
