Ripples by Something Memorable published on 2021-11-17T16:31:07Z It's amazing what comes into your head as you sit by the beach. This has turned out to be a dark waltz. Unashamedly folk dressed up to go out for the evening. Keeping it low and slow. A pinch of Cohen, a sneer of Bowie and a smattering of Cave... lets see what the world thinks. Ripples The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free The sky is rippling, as it drowns me. You looked out to sea, to horizons fall Avoiding my eyes as you explained it all, Stepping past cliches, you cut straight to the bone Why give away lies, when there’s your own truth to own You told how it felt, to be you with me Unchallenged, alone, watching those others be free And the trinkets I buy you and the words I pledge Just make you feel hollow so it must end. The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free The sky is rippling, as it drowns me. Without Power to the turn words back Asked you not to say more but you were the tide and I, a fool on the shore. You spoke of beginnings how they must lead to ends, You told me of couples who still stayed friends No tear in your eye, just the hint of a frown As your words broke around me, turned my world upside down. The Sky is rippling, beneath a dark sea It laps on a shore that’s just out of reach The clouds are sinking, as the red sun floats free The sky is rippling, as it drowns me.
