They floated downstream with swans in the sun
Surrounded by friends and lovers
We watched on with smiles beaming so bright
The river behind them, the fading daylight
I knew her back from when she was young
Those days poured out faster than rounds from a gun
Scattered like shells and lost to the sea
Like the river, the days move rapidly
I have all these memories, I don't know what for
I have them and I can't help it
Some overflow and spill out like waves
Some I will harbor for all of my days
I burned like oil, you grew like a flower
Rising toward your magical hour
I was not yours and you were not mine
Our true love finds us when it is time
We drove back downtown, wasted and spent
Down highways that I remember
Happy for her and happy for me
The old times and the new to uncover
I laid down my head, in love with the night
With my new love beside me, her radiant light
I faded away along with my thoughts
Like a dream and I trail off mystically
