Keiran Well, I stayed awake ’til the sun came up
Like some distant memory
And I watched as the night and it’s wisdom
Disappeared right before me
I was picturing you in that Dublin blue
And I reached out in vain once again
Knowing that you’re there and I’m here
There’s so much out there in between
Like a post card
I could try hard
Somehow describing just what I feel
But it’s far too real
Far too real
Staring out at the ocean
Listening to the traffic below
Everybody’s fueled by frustration
Still it’s only love making everyone go
The waves crash down I hear the sound
Of the time-keeping tide once again
Reminding me it’s only life
And I should feel free just to be
Like a stone wall
I could stand tall
Waving my flag claiming how I feel
But it’s far too real
Far too real
As seagulls soar through the sunset
They leave their silhouettes of wind driven wings
I quietly watch what remains of the day
And I listen as my soul sings
Shadows run long like a sad song
And the night claims my tears once again
As I return to all I’ve learned
Somehow I finally see the light
Like an old jar
I could try hard
Somehow containing just what I feel
But it’s far too real
Far too real
I stayed awake ’til the sun came up
Like some distant memory
And I watched as the night and her wisdom
Disappeared right before me
