As the evening fades
and the shadows fall,
there is an empty space in front of me,
a big empty space where you should be.
As I toss and turn I realise I'm all alone,
and I tell myself this can't be right,
not on this beautiful day, especially not tonight.
I should walk away and live my life.
I knew it was wrong and should have let you be,
but I was blinded by love that only others could see.
I tried to step back and open my eyes,
now filled with tears from my cries.
Sunflowers are there for all to see.
They sway gently with the passing breeze.
We held hands amongst them in our dreams,
letting run our imagination wherever we please.
Now a bridge is drawn and I must fight on.
The smiling sunflowers are with me - but not for long.
As the summer draws to an end they will wither and die,
leaving me alone to face the world, leaving me to question why.
I have changed my tack, I have changed my stance.
No more will I love you, no more will I ask you for a dance.
Life is never even, no matter where you stand.
Love gone forever, gone where the wind blows across a deserted shadowed land.
I wish this was not true.
Life is harsh, life is cruel.
