I sense my heart is fleeting
Along the water's edge
I'd let go if my being
Could clear my weary head
My mind is such an ocean
Troubled with regret
I learned as much as fishers do
When wishing for a net
But weight am I accustomed
To carrying the load
Of yesterday's shattered pieces
Along life's rocky road
My love was just a notion
A chance to wake the dead
The soul inside, that cost the lives
So many gone instead
Instead I walk alone now
Gathering my strength
There are many like me
Trying to lift the weight
But weight am I accustomed
To carrying the load
Of yesterday's shattered pieces
Along life's rocky road
Could I have been more careful
True, my eyes were blind
When tested by the devil
In lady form and kind
My mind is such an ocean
Wading with denial
I learned I am a sunset
Deferred beside the Nile
But weight am I accustomed
To carrying the load
Of yesterday's shattered pieces
Along life's rocky road
