Here's to Hope

The sun's setting on what was

Setting on what could have been

In essence

All that lover's have sought

Too slow to cherish what was had

Until you haven't anything

Your fingers ache to have it once more

Here's to long goodbyes

And all the songs they bring

Romanticize

Linger on what bliss with which we fly

And all that's promising

Watch it slide

Here's to hope

Long for a silver line

Tracing all that's darkening your days

And their silences

Wear your sorrow with a smile

To wear away the memories of what was near

But never quite here

Here's to long goodbyes

And all the songs they bring

Romanticize

Linger on what bliss with which we fly

And all that's promising

Watch it slide

Here's to hope

So you sing for the silence
