As suddenly as it started

AS SUDDENLY AS IT STARTED (D G D G A E, capo 2)

As suddenly as it started it receded. All I heard was blood rushing then it went silent.

With our backs to the sun. Bobbing up and down. Waiting for the next one.

 

And as suddenly as it started I was leaving. I felt something strong. Only briefly.

Dripping on the sand. Disappearing. I couldn’t look back then.

 

I couldn’t reach out but I would now.

I cannot return; you wouldn’t be there anyway.

As suddenly as you came.
