We used to talk
Enough to fill an ocean
Full of sailors who were going

To some undiscovered place

And we talked

About a storm that's growing
But we'd survive it knowing
We'd keep each other safe


Like the waves
That wash away

The footprints on the shore
We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore


We used to talk
Enough to fill a million books

With page after page
With inspirational thoughts


And we talked
About all the scenarios
Where we could be the heroes

Adventuring evil plots

It's what we don't expect

And what we choose to ignore
We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore


How long
Can these conversations go wrong

Before the inspiration is gone

Even Atlantis sunk onto the ocean floor

We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore


We used to talk
Now in a hundred years
We would still be sitting here

Just to chatter in our poems

We're not

I'm sitting here in silence
And though I have tried
It is hard to talk alone
