DREAMING OF SUNSET

(Timothy Brickley & David Rheins)

 

The clouds are etched upon the canvas sky

in penciled tribute black and white.

A grey mood colors me just below.

I watch you through the painted night.

Behold, your face is the moon

with eyes of dark circles that cry.

Oh, how you haunt me alone here tonight,

pulling my thoughts like the tide.

You have seen the sailors at dawn

swimming alone out to sea,

leaving you faded at daybreak

with this sorrow you pass on to me.

You have seen men praise you before

as the dusk in their blood comes to stir.

Still, you stare like that rock in the sky,

the seas in my eye but a tear.
