  Lyrics

Early on a Friday in May
Dancing on a crest of a wave
I could feel the sudden crashing
Of cold water rush upon my shore
In the twilight of innocence
With curiosity pushed to turbulence
I'm bewildered by your passive hints
That soon you may not need me anymore

I shouldn't anything distract me from anything
That's going on this perfect day
Of leisure and play
These truly are the best of times
Dream-scaped array
For five years we have built
These stories brick day by day
Don’t let this end, don’t let it end

You may be the follower
But you’ve got your own great mind
Open up your eyes and cherish
Everything that you will surely find
In a year or twelve you may not remember
This quite the way that I do
But I'll always remember you

You shouldn't let anything
Distract you from everything
That's going on this perfect day
Of bliss and fun
These truly are the best of times
Cannot be out-done
Please don't allow the trite
To ever grow into distraction
To what you've got
You've got a lot

We left the beach as the dark patches
Advanced to hide the sun
Ran to the verge so we could
Witness this meteorological phenomenon
Caught two rainbows in a jaunty dance
Beneath the haunting clouds
In turn they tapped
The gray water on either side
Like Heaven's arms outstretched
And grasping at the tide
Seagulls a-blaze in the bent light
A truly mystical sight
The night arrived with such harmony
Embroiled forever in my memory

Later on the beach that day
I wondered just what you would say
If you could reflect back on this time
Right now along with us four
It is such a system we possess
The turning over of the vines
Although the world is a bit of a mess
Perhaps your judgement will be better than mine

Would you tell me that everything
Is a segue to everything
That's going on, that's in our song
It's what you've got
Ready or not!

Heaven's ambience is the crashing of the tide
Fades and echoes to the past
As we commence our return ride

The day expired with such harmony
Embroiled forever in my memory

It's what I see when I retreat
Into the halls of my memory
