Written by Don Chaffer
I ran my fingers over the cloth and found the seam
I thought this isn't here or there; it's in between
And I always wished I could stand right where sky meets sea
But when I dreamed it one time, it seemed sad to me
Sad like a farewell written in the sand
Sad like a waterfall splashing in your hand
Sad like the sunlight in a marble hall
Maybe sad isn't quite the right word after all
CHORUS
I could go over everything again, and wonder why but
I don't think that'll give an answer to me anymore, cause
Now I've learned some things just refuse to come to the light, and
It's okay, okay, yeah
I said okay, okay, yeah
I was certain of hurt and I was scared to care
I thought falling would mean that I would land nowhere
Now I wonder if one is ever sure at all
Maybe you don't rise above maybe you love the fall
Fall like a toddler learning to stand
Fall like a satellite floats unmanned
Fall like a fool at a downtown bar
Maybe fall doesn't really go all that far
BRIDGE
Go call off the dogs now
Sunset's setting in and
We won't find the body
Til another day begins and
I suspect they'll ask me
Once they find it in my head
Why I seek the living
Here in the land of the dead
I ran my fingers over the cloth and found the seam
I thought this isn't here or there; it's in between
And I always wished I could stand right where sky meets sea
But when I dreamed it one time, it seemed sad to me
Sad like a farewell written in the sand
Sad like a waterfall splashing in your hand
Sad like the sunlight in a marble hall
Maybe sad isn't quite the right word after all
