I realize the accident changed everything

Guess I still wonder why that had to be

You’d never quite answer me

Say instead something evasive or coy

What I wanted to know was simple

Could our marriage survive when they didn’t

Make a new start somewhere else

Me loving you, damn the rest

 

Feel our future pouring out

This breeze of tears on your face

Way after the sea snatched your parents

My life should be lived with you

Girl loves boy, but leaves anyway
