The days are dark—the walls are collapsing in on me
I need your strength and warm embrace right now
I need your kiss and whispered love right now

I have you and you have me
To endure these tough times
To help me keep my peace of mind
I need you to hold me through
Until the day comes anew

It’s a dream world I live in
Full of beauty and peace and silence
For so long I didn’t recognize, I didn’t know
How to grow

Out of my world, my comfort, my safety
But you, baby
You came into my dream world, changing the landscape until
I had to step back and appreciate the view

And now I can’t go back
Pictures of you pack into my dreams It’s really rather a pretty world we’ve built,
You and I
Even though I have to leave you each morning.

Deep and everlasting
Tender, warm, and safe
Me heart no longer fasting
We are in a perfect place

Laughing, smiling, having fun
Reading, weeping, love-making
Your touch makes my heart run
And you know I’m never faking

Adventure and excitement
For many, many years
This is my love’s indictment
With kisses, hugs, support, and tears

So I proclaim to thee
This is what our love can be

Loneliness is a bitter draught
It comes in waves, filling me with dread
It hits me hard, when it ought not.

How do I get this feeling out of my head?
When day after day I come home to an empty bed
Empty like the dark sky under city lights
No stars in my bed to make me feel right

So again I am the supplicant
Beating my fists at fate
Why does love seem to hate--
Me?

Me--no we--no he and I
Just my lonely self standing at the door
Waving goodbye.
