And I
Just drifting through this life
Floating just above the surface
A shadow in the darkest night
Leaving neither mark nor trace
And I
A whisper on a silent breeze
No more than just a troubled dream
A memory you thought you had
But nothing more to make you scream
And I
A fleeting stop along the way
Words you felt someone had wept
Or you had read upon a stone
Something you felt you could have kept
And I
Swept away upon the tide
Nothing more than nothing more than
Ashes taken by the wind and
Blown back to where it all began
And I
