Story Behind The Song

This song was written while in Costa Rica after meeting a beautiful woman and having few moments to share before you both are forced to return to "real life." Those fleeting moments of love.

Song Description

This song takes the listener on a mournful journey with guitar and saxophone that are intended to sound melancholy over the loss of love that the song envisions.

Lyrics

You can see I'm tired
I can see your lonely
So come close to me love
And don't say if only, if only

I had just told you,
Said it all with a glance
Then you would be my love
I'd be your one chance

So take all I am doll
Feel what you see
Sometimes words can't describe now
What it means to be free, they say that
Some things can't be written or built
Like the leaf as it falls from the tree
Love is here then it's gone
Like the night pulls the sun to the sea

The sun clings to your body
The sand clings to your hair
Only time for one moment
No, no time to prepare

Huddle close to the fire
Put your hands to the flame
Soon this night will be over
Feel this love feel this pain
They're one and the same so

These embers are fading in time
To the waves crashing over our lives
But the heat of your body
Beats back all the doubt and the fear of what lies, ahead

Some things can't be written or built
Like the leaf as it falls from the tree
Love is here then it's gone
Like the night pulls the sun to the sea
These embers are fading in time
To the waves crashing over our lives
But the heat of your body
Beats back all the doubt and the fear of what lies, ahead
The doubt and the fear of what lies, the doubt and the fear of what lies, ahead
