once there were oceans of blue
and sunshine skies
they reflected off you
i'd avert my eyes
i was wincing in beauty
or pain - it's all the same
now I'm recollecting
what's left to proclaim

oh, my baby
once you've left me
you can't have my love
got your letters
in my dresser
they won't be enough

then it seems the evening had come
the sun went down
the night was less fun
with no one around
i was twisting my thumbs
you'd be returning
to make the sun shine

but sadly, you returned too late
and i began the day alone
and said goodbye
to needing someone's hand to hold
and fearing evening's dark and cold
i'm fine
goodbye

i was wincing in beauty
or pain - it's all the same
now i'm recollecting
what's left to proclaim
everything's changed
you're convincing
but all of your tears
fall on deaf ears
there's just one rejection
left to be said here
