I don't want to tell you
How I felt that morning
When I saw you
Your face saying no
I didn't want to tell you
I lost it long ago
That morning, how I hated
To tell you I must go
I asked you that morning
All you said was, "I don't know"
So I left you that morning
With no place to go, oh oh oh
I drove to the ocean
And waited for the tide
I waited in the ripples
And played in the sand
I felt the cool rhythms
Flow across my hand
I sat there and wondered
If you'd ever understand
How could I have stayed
It's too much, too deep
And so I left you that morning
Hoping you'd understand, oh
