Follow the Sun

She told me 
The sun must set to rise 
And I believed her 
I searched for her in every sunset
But I was so lost in my search 
That I didn't realize 
That the light on her porch was 
Slowly and steadily growing dim
Until one day it went out 
And I was alone again
I cannot look at sunsets anymore 
Now that I'm back to being nomadic 
I follow the sun
For tomorrow it could rain
Maybe she was the one 
Lennon was singing about 
Maybe I should've known better 
But although the sun has set now 
Tomorrow it'll rise again
Tomorrow I'll get up
Dust myself off 
And continue
For both of us this time 
It's what she would want 

The Bilge Master
