I Used To Try - Blue Sails

Another morning under the moon

Another day will be upon us soon

Another night under enormous blue

I used to try to talk to you to make you understand

But all I said was never any good

What perfect and silent words are now slipping through my teeth

While I reach for you from somewhere else

Entire lives traded for youth

Another chance to ask, «Will we get there soon?»

But it won’t be long before that ends too

I used to let these wild nights wear me paper thin

I once was lost to everyone I knew

But standing at the fire I can hear the oldest voice

Sharing what we don’t learn til we die

All that we might know when we die
