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
