absent - Eleven Eleven

You’ve severed all of your ties

And absent for goodbyes

We are shadows in your wake

Remaining is the tale

Of the ocean nightingale

And the promises you’d break

And summer won’t be the same

And for this you are to blame

And summer won’t be the same

And never will be again

A penny for your thoughts

For a thousand rainy days

Your reasons so unclear

How a splash in time can change

But the waves remain the same

Every moment, every year

And summer won’t be the same

And for this you are to blame

And summer won’t be the same

And never will be again

In this yesterday sky

A second thought that I once had

I saw you smiling there

In this yesterday fog

You left the world that seemed much better

All of the days before you left

Before you left

This place is cold and changed

But you are destined to sustain

You will always define here

I can’t even say your name

But your waves still wait in vain

Every moment, every year

And summer won’t be the same

And for this you are to blame

And summer won’t be the same

And never will be again

But you are…
