Rick's Cyber Romance - The silence that followed Lyrics

She spoke of horizons that we'd never see
A trip to the stars but it stayed in her dreams
We talked of night swims beneath the starlit sky
But the waters stayed still as time passed us by
Promises like whispers in the wind
Fading before they could begin
I held on but the thread unraveled slow
Watching her drift where I couldn't go
We painted the sky with colors that never bled
Chasing the dawn with words left unsaid
I let go of the things we could never be
And found peace in the silence that followed me
The diner lights flickered dark beer in hand
I read all her silences but did not understand
She spoke of tomorrow but it never arrived
Tired of sifting between her truths and lies
Promises like whispers in the wind
Fading before they could begin
I held on but the thread unraveled slow
Watching her drift where I couldn't go
We painted the sky with colors that never bled
Chasing the dawn with words left unsaid
I let go of the things we could never be
And found peace in the silence that followed me
I searched for the meaning in what we left behind
But the more I looked the less I could find
Her love was a flicker a shadow on the wall
And I learned to step back before taking the fall
We painted the sky with colors that never bled
Chasing the dawn with words left unsaid
I let go of the things we could never be
And found peace in the silence that followed me
A trip never taken a swim that never came
And I'm walking away no more playing this game
She's a memory now a dream that slipped away
And I'll find my strength in the light of a new day
