As the grass grows thinner
And the summer trees turn red
The sweet dew that once moistened your lips
And the hallow words of I love you
Slowly fade away
Our minds and souls were connected
In a sea painted blue
Almost as if the rain that fell that day
Was never gray
Yet if you look around the corner
Behind the sea painted blue
Hidden where most people don’t see
Is a calm scarlet sunset
So peaceful indeed
The smiling faces of us
The memories of you and me
Painted behind the sea painted blue
The memories are slowly morphing into dreams
Still as lucid as can be
Yet we know it isn’t real
Just like you and me
Like a peaceful melody
Hidden behind the sea painted blue
Is a peaceful melody
A scarlet sunset
That now haunts you at night
Turning as mono as can be
Dripping down the arms of a sinner
Washing your hands clean
