Pair of souls, drifting in a gentle stream
Birdsong echoes, dewdrops gleam in the golden rays of spring sun
Flowers blossom and trees wave in the gentle breeze, as he says
You’re the one
You’re the one I’ll be with, forever

She simply smiles, wistful
For she knows, promises in peace ring hollow
And that, attachment brings sorrow
Once the currents shift and the tides turn
In the stream once, so small
The gentle trickle to a deafening roar
The tides of time test us all

A colossal waterfall looms at the horizon
Raging whitewaters hurrying them along
Scrabbling for air, land, each other, hope
Please… with her I belong

God sends them a rock
Repulsive, jagged and jutting out of the whites
She grabs on, fighting for her life
He grabs her, fighting for his life
Only, his life was her, he was fighting for her
Whilst she was fighting for herself

It’s his turn to smile now
Promises were made to be kept, anyhow
She’s slipping, time’s ticking…

He lets go
His forever now over
But hers
Ticking on
