Rain Eyes - Miles Away

Reflect against a mirror of yesterday

Laughter we shared, a moment of clarity

The best ones you know, the first ones to go

So think back, look deep within, don’t let the burden suck you in

I know there are times we question reasoning

The best ones you know, the first ones to go

And now we’re grown up, we forgot all we had to say

Like sand running through our hands, eroding days away

Against a window of yesterday

Drama we shared, wouldn’t change a thing

The best ones you know, the first ones to go

In the end tragedy closes in

Stealing young lives before they even begin

And taking old lives that need to be read

The best ones you know, the first ones to go

We won’t forget times that were shared, the memories remain

We won’t forget times were shared, the knowledge engrained

So flick through old photographs, remember the lives that have come to pass

Holding back the year that come so fast

As the tears roll down your face

The pain of seeing your love laid waste

This is not in vain, we will not forget

Now we’re grown up, we forgot all we had to say

Like sand through our hands, eroding days away

We won’t forget times that were shared, the memory embraced
