Run away to the seashore
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away
With the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall
I dreamed that I saw you, you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past
You're with me only in the past
Only in the past you're with me
Only in the past
Only in the past
My palms are not open they're closed, they're closed
My palms are not open they're closed, they're closed
I dreamed that I saw you, you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past
Colours streak the sky, we laugh and we cry
And we dance in the cool grass with the fireflies
And we dance in the cool grass, sunset, birds
Sweet, sweet music swallow our words
You set sail and you left this town
Run away, run away, you're so far, so far from me now
So far from me now
Run away to the seashore
It doesn't matter anymore
It doesn't matter anymore
Words dry up and fly away
With the passing of the days
Eventually you just let the stone fall
I dreamed that I saw you, you were down at the corner store
You were looking through magazines and you flew out the door
I was trying to wave to you but you wouldn't wave back
Now you know I understand you're with me only in the past
Only in the past
Only in the past
Only in the past
