Crimson Tide
10/28/05
The shards of glass glitter like stars
Under an electric blue sky
Yes, indeed, the sun did rise
But today he will not notice
Bathed in a steady crimson rain
His eyes dart like butterflies
In search of the perfect flower
But today he will not find it
Stained and drained he lies immobile
Time is no longer on his side
Cold and gray the sun’s still out
But today he will not feel it
And you wonder where you are
How you managed to stray so far
Can’t for the life of you figure out why
So what the hell, just wave goodbye
