a brief dream of sun

For a moment

I thought

That after all

The years and tears

And will they, won't they

That maybe we would

For just a moment

I saw

The two of us

Standing barefoot

By the ocean

In another world

A brief dream of sun

That I'll always want

A brief dream of sun

That'll never come

You made me think

That I was something

And maybe I was

But all this time

I tried to find it

I just never could

Maybe if we both

Were older

If we understood

Burning bright

As high as heaven

Is never as good

A brief dream of sun

That I'll always want

A brief dream of sun

That'll never come

Your silhouette

Against the water

Your footsteps in the sand

Your shadow

Growing longer

Forever fading in my head

A brief dream of sun

That I'll always want

A brief dream of sun

That'll never come

A brief dream of sun

That I'll always want

A brief dream of sun

That'll never come

Your silhouette

Against the water

Your footsteps in the sand

Your shadow

Growing longer

Forever fading in my head
