Sent into exile for many years his mind started to clear
And crystalized a thought not wrought with debris
but now sitting by the sea he knew what he had been missing
Many years ago he'd had his heart broken
and he had sworn never ever to love again
he had departed from the woman
and loneliness had became his only friend
And so now it would be the time to begin again
years of jail had told only a tale of the aggressiveness of men
He longed to experience once again the thoughts and softness
of a woman and thought it lost but released he
would have the chance to get to go back to there again
Since childhood he'd wished it away, like the things
that we take for granted, like an enchanted moon
Or the first sign and first time he'd heard Time After Time
The year was 1986, and at the pool the teenage kids kissed
And the girls tried on different styles of sunglasses and tans
The radio played the music but it was as if it came from them
And in a way it did, as they set the trend, and he noticed the way
in which they painted their nails, and lifted their hair
and how their colors matched from bracelet to top
and how they'd take them off to reveal their skin to the sun
when they'd jump in the pool and the smell of the lotion
set off the summer in motion once again and he avoided them splashing
but wished for their attention, all in one motion, they'd look
laugh and play with the 5 year old learning to swim.
And he wanted more than anything to be with them
And crystalized a thought not wrought with debris
but now sitting by the sea he knew what he had been missing
Many years ago he'd had his heart broken
and he had sworn never ever to love again
he had departed from the woman
and loneliness had became his only friend
And so now it would be the time to begin again
years of jail had told only a tale of the aggressiveness of men
He longed to experience once again the thoughts and softness
of a woman and thought it lost but released he
