The Ring - Jamie Lidell

Always thought she’d stick around

Always thought she’d stay

Now he’s searching for the ring

The one she had to throw away

Beach comber casts a shadow

Long as his beard

Never thought to cut it since

His lover disappeared

She left him in this

Crazy state he’s in

Scouring the shoreline

Oh, looking for the ring

Oh, the ring that was wrapped around her finger

She was just a dream and he was just a dreamer

There’s a rhythm to his madness

A rhythm that he’s in

Retracing all the steps he walked

Where once he was a king

His heart jolts awake

To the beeps of his machine

Starts racing faster, faster

‘Til it’s a steady stream

He riffles through

Every grain of sand

One for everything that

Slipped through his hands

And his friends have all gone

Gone with the tide

And he’s standing on the shoreline

Stranded in time

Oh, the ring that was wrapped around her finger

She was just a dream and he was just a dreamer

Beach combing for his lost gold

Something to have and to hold

Oh, small fortunes they sat and stay

Too long to wash away

Sweat dripping from his head

Like a bridal shower

And dampening the gleaming sand

But mixed with tears so sour

‘Cause he is just a dreamer

She was just a dream

He is just a dreamer

She was just a dream

She is just a dream

He is just a dreamer
