DAYS THAT WERE

DAYS THAT WERE

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON

FEB.2019

TIME LOST LIKE SAND THROUGH GLASS

YOU KNEW WHERE IT WAS

BUT NOW ITS GONE

CAUGHT UP IN THE WIND

SCATTERED BY THE WAVES

DAYS THAT WERE MINE

WASHED OUT TO SEA

COULD THEY HAVE KNOWN

IT WAS ME

CALL OUT BEFORE ME

IS ANYONE ELSE HERE

EMPTY SILENCE

 JUST WIND AND WAVES

SUCH A LONELY PLACE

WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE

I COULD SEE YOUR FACE

WHISPER IN YOUR EAR

WHATEVER IT WAS YOU 

WANTED TO HEAR

ITS TOO LATE YOU'RE GONE

FEELS LIKE SO LONG

IT WASN'T EASY

BUT I GOT ON

JUST LIKE THE TIDE

SO DEEP INSIDE

YOU'LL FIND ME

THE WAVES CRASHED

 UPON THE SHORE

I SAT AND WATCHED

ONLY WANTING MORE

I STRUNG THE WORDS TOGETHER

THAT EACH ONE TOLD

PUT IT IN A SONG

FOR THE AGES TO FIND

 CAUGHT UP IN THE WIND

SCATTERED BY THE WAVES

I REMEMBERED SOMETHING

ABOUT A GIRL THAT WASN'T SURE

BUT SHE WAS SURE SHE WAS GOING

AND SURE ENOUGH

SHE WAS GONE

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO 

SUMMER DAYS IN THE SUN

LOVE WAS EVERYWHERE

AND IT WAS KIND

EVEN TO A BROKEN HEART

SO MANY SO MUCH

WITH EACH NEW WAVE

MEMORIES GO MISSING FROM THE SAND

NEVER TO RETURN

THERE'S JUST AN EMPTY BEACH

THAT THE TIDE CAN'T REACH

NO DAYS THAT WEREN'T CAUGHT IN THE WIND
