The Saddest Thing

The Saddest Thing - Changes

I have seen the crimson sunset

Casting shadows on a lonely beach

I have witnessed stars of nighttime

Light their silver patterns out of reach

I have watched the soaring eagle fly

Through blue and endless skies

I have felt the look of love shine in

Your dark and searching eyes

But the saddest thing I've ever seen

Was when you walked away

But the saddest thing I've ever seen

Was when you walked away

I have heard the roar of thunder

Rip across a stormy summer night

I have watched those white and weightless

Clouds of morning sail out of sight

I have felt most cherished moments slipping

Through the gripping hands of hope

I have heard the violent final snapping

Of the last strand of the rope

But the saddest thing I've ever seen

Was when you walked away

But the saddest thing I've ever seen

Was when you walked away
