Where the Sky Meets the Ocean

Why is it that I look around
When there is nobody there and no one's expected
She was supposed to come.
I even heard her footsteps getting closer and closer
I even saw the reflections change as the door opened
And then those pearls that had been waiting so long came
Out through the eyes that usually take in

Why is it that I still wait
When she hasn't arrived and will never make that visit
He had promised me she would come.
I even smelled the essence of her breath coming close to my mouth
I even felt the silk of her hair gently cover my face
And then this dreamer woke up to the present
Drowning himself into darkness again

Boy, is it raining or is it pouring tonight ...
