I can’t see the majestic stars from where I am
Moving too fast through life to stop and appreciate
The supreme wonder of the bitter sweet crevasse
That is open and spilling down on me from above
Bleeding out over me when it all starts and ends
In warm Floydian pinks, violets, tangerines
But never reaching me no matter how hard I try and chase it.

On your faces I see my pain etched across
In your gaps my love is lost in the abyss
An abundance of memories lost and found
Retrieved and forgotten in your awesomeness
A thousand of you in each other’s company
All alone when the sun leaves you for the day
But only one of you living forever in the memories of those touched.

If I were stuck in place like you, still moving
But grounded, steadfast on a clear path
Always heading in the right direction
I think I would feel more complete than I do
Trapped alone, with no chance of escaping
Except to the comfort of my own thoughts
Thinking of you and how I wish I could wear your mask if only for a day.

A white disk besieged by a fervour of freckles
Shines more prominently than the others
Staring down, looking out, with its drifting eye
Guiding me through life’s trials and tribulations
Caused by that very light I long for so dearly
That diamond that shone like the sun
But got caught without a direction in life, on a helpless, hopeless path.

I have stopped now, I can appreciate you
The whirlwind of life blocked that privilege
But I now flourish with your splendour
Raining down upon me amongst your friends
Over your friends sticking to what you believe in
Not faltering from that route you chose
Circling around the night sky, keeping me company when I’m trapped in darkness

The sun still shines even when it’s hiding,
Your radiance is still here even though you’re gone,
Your love and laughter is still providing
Me with the ability to run this marathon,
That is life. We’ll be friends forever,
Even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you,
I’ll never forget you, we’ll always be together
When I think of how we flew.
We didn’t realise we were making memories,
We just knew we were having fun,
When we messed about in different centuries,
Who knew you would jump the gun.
How lucky I am to have someone
That makes saying goodbye so hard

When I was there I didn’t feel like I was anywhere
I was surrounded by people, yet I still felt alone
No one can teach me, I cannot be shown
How to give a **** and once again care.
I have been caught up in this endless affair.
How is it then that I am still on my own
Fighting this battle with no one to phone,
Living a life that is full of despair?
I know there are people to give their support
This means a lot, I love you I do
I’ll finish the day feeling brand new
And then this time I might not fall short.
Then I’ll be ready to stand up and shout,
Please someone trust me, I will never bow out

The days are dismal
Never light, forever dark
Raining and abysmal
No more bird lark
Not for a while anyway
Soon the sky's won't be so grey

Summer will come round again
Running drenched in sweat
Until then try and not feel the rain
Instead just get wet
Get through the winter age
With a smile trapped in a cage

The thunder will pass
The storm will go
The warmth will surpass
The cloud and snow
Until then cherish love and its song
Don't give up hope. Stay strong
