about

A song about "saying goodbye when you were not able to at the time"

lyrics

Setting sun,
Beyond the sea
Orange falling,
Rolling free
And this memory,
Running circles
That you would not
Always be
Here
For my safekeeping
For my safekeeping…

I would see you,
From afar,
Swimming in darkness,
Running away,
From all this madness,
Unleashing my fears,
That you would not
Always be
Here
For my safekeeping
For my safekeeping…

Chorus:
These words I kept inside,
Never getting through to you,
I will throw them
To the sea…
Reaching you in
Sweet asylum

And if you could
see me,
From above.
For all these things
I wanted to say
But did not say
For too much
Safekeeping

Shutting doors,
So carelessly,
For you to stay away
From me
And the fury
Of this day
When no longer
Here
For my safekeeping
For my safekeeping…

Chorus:
These words I kept inside,
Never getting through to you,
I will throw them
To the sea…

Reaching you in
Sweet asylum (repeat)

Reaching you in sweet asylum (repeat)

And I will
do this (repeat)
For
you…
