about
Words and music by Richie Reinholdt.
lyrics
As day is done a crimson fiery sun
Spreads a last farewell across the sky
Drenching light rays of golden rose
Scorching memories of lives gone by
Smoldering with intent
To reach back and touch yesterday
Gambling time forsaken to the wind
Always betting on a losing hand
Guarded hearts a lovers game of chance
The winners names are written in the sand
With rippled fists clenched in rage
The losers’ clutch at yesterday
Selfish ones festooned with desire
Forgetting everything in the mirror
Games go on blinded by the chase
A murky path that used to seem so clear
Not looking back to far enough to see
The lessons of yesterday
And through the years the heart loses it’s way
Eventually forgetting how to fly
Distant cries of loves that used to be
Echoes all across the evening sky
But a shadow from goodbyes
Has fallen across yesterday
And now the past forever frozen in time
Remains as distant as the twilight sun
Parting words like salvos to the heart
Malevolently fired on the run
Linger on eternally
Trying to remake yesterday
Spreads a last farewell across the sky
Drenching light rays of golden rose
Scorching memories of lives gone by
Smoldering with intent
To reach back and touch yesterday
Gambling time forsaken to the wind
Always betting on a losing hand
Guarded hearts a lovers game of chance
The winners names are written in the sand
With rippled fists clenched in rage
The losers’ clutch at yesterday
Selfish ones festooned with desire
Forgetting everything in the mirror
Games go on blinded by the chase
A murky path that used to seem so clear
Not looking back to far enough to see
The lessons of yesterday
And through the years the heart loses it’s way
Eventually forgetting how to fly
Distant cries of loves that used to be
Echoes all across the evening sky
But a shadow from goodbyes
Has fallen across yesterday
And now the past forever frozen in time
Remains as distant as the twilight sun
Parting words like salvos to the heart
Malevolently fired on the run
Linger on eternally
Trying to remake yesterday
