Thinking Out Loud

When the world grows dark
I lie my head down
knowing it's light
where you are
I wonder, do you think of me

when it rains where I am
and the waves rush the shore
the shifting sand browns
yours white with fallen snow
do you think of me

when the roofs of your home
grow colourful with autumn
falling leaves
and mine is just always green
do you think of me

when blooms nod their sleepy heads
on your lush gardens
and the orchids nod
in the heat of May
do you think of me

do you think of me
when you watch
the sunsets in your sky
in the sunrise of my day
just for a minute

will you remember me
when the day comes
to an end
and eternal sleep beckons
will you?
