Subtleties

Three white cars passed by.

I could see the clouds in 

their windshields.

Three white stars in a twilight sky.

And now that the clouds are

gone, I see, one more

that catches my

eye.

I see, into the heart of the sky, I see,

Something I tasted long ago that

was coming back to me.

Come Back.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain moves on,

As the tide rolls in.

In just a few days I'll still be here, 

But you will be far, far away.

So one last time I 

hold you near.

And save the hero for another day.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain  moves on,

As the tide moves in.

And the distance between us wouldn't seem so long

If we knew that one of those birds still left up in

the sky gave a cry as he witnessed one of those

moments that you and I both look at the

stars in the twilight sky.

And count,

One,

Two,

Three.

I remember you reminded me of the subtleties.

The little things that make your day.

And the rain moves on,

As the tide moves in.
