Sunset Off The Coastline - the HIATUS

The year I was born

The Vietnam war came to an end

'Time for liberation'

That was what some thought it would be

Don’t remember how

How I ended up in this town

Still I feel the same as if

It’s the first day I met you

You watched the train come and go

From what’s left of old town

The flower still grows in me

I grew up, a bit clued up

Got jaded and then faded

Believing in our happy ending

Like a sunset off the coastline

Never cheated

We never lied, too

We hated before they hated us

She was so strong

And she was so sad

I guess I was the same way

Just don’t close your eyes

Just don’t close your eyes

This could be my direction

You tell me you are doing fine

We’re just waiting for the answers

Wind blowing one direction

You tell me you are doing fine

We’re just waiting for the answers

I’m writing down my thoughts

Like chasing down something to hold

Something to lean on

When leaving off the sail

You’re giving me something to bet on

Something to go on

And after all I have survived

Your cheek is what this morn' reminds

It’s darkness you cast away

That leaves the seed right where you stand

As you look into my sentiment

Your flower grows
