Whatever I do, however far I try to go,
There is always darkness, my life is
Restrained, nothing but a fading rainbow,
And there is nothing that changes,
Searching for a sign, I follow
What my dream says, and lose all track
of keeping in line...
If this life is just a burning candle,
Some stupid cliche' that just withered
And died overnight, if the burning torch
Will be there even after I have lost my light,
I don't care, you aren't here so now I live in despair?
So very distant, like a mist, a cloud in the empty air.
What I want to know, and what you will never say,
Is how each day gets longer the further you're away,
I reach out to touch, but my hands find empty air,
The only thing that I can feel is that you aren't there,
So I will make a difference, I will carry on in spite,
Shall keep on trying to make sense of this meaningless
Plight. And in the end I'll find you are just another you,
An empty face, a memory, yet for you I cry each night,
And I feel it would seem to me that that is all I ever do.
You are just so small, your voice so strong and smooth,
I feel I could tell you anything, you keep me in a dream,
Your short hair, your pig tails, your face just like the moon.
All I can say is that you're such a gorgeous unique being!
I'd lose myself here and now, take the pill and try to forget,
But everywhere I turn I see your beady starlit eyes,
And it's an addiction, though we've hardly ever spoken yet.
And so I must do what I always do, pretend to be a miracle
Worker, and hope I can at least make a change,
Each hour, each day, each moment that I'm so unsure,
I hope wont be the same, so strange, so some day
This will all be far away,
And I will hear you calling from a distance,
And go into a dream and there I'll stay.
