Saltwater Stream

written & performed by Hook

I don't know what lies before me
I don't know if it will wait around
I can't tell you which is worse
To have & to lose
Or not to have ever found

            I let go, I'm set free on the tide
            Of the tears I cried for you
            & now I float down this
            Saltwater stream of memories & dreams
            Now I'm washed clean
            Of the stain that our love became
            What a wicked game
            That only brings pain

I don't know if I can handle
The emptiness that I now feel
I can't tell you which is worse
To live without love
Or to watch love disappear

              Chorus

            only brought pain
            & pain always leads me to shame

I don't know if I can manage
The confusion that envelopes me
I can't tell you which is worse
A comfortable cloudy haze
Or the bitterness of clarity

               I let go & it's all I can do
               Not to grab hold again
               I let go; now I replay the
               Scene in my mind
               & I change all the lines
               This saltwater stream
               Is now just a memory

I don't know what lies before me
I don't know if it will wait around
I can't tell you which is worse
To lose or not to have found
