You're still in here, inside these walls
through open doors and vacant halls
I hear you gently clear your throat
and rustle with your overcoat
I hear you say in deep distress
I have some things I must confess
I Loved You Then I love you still
I love you now, I always will
You have my heart, my heart that's true
a love I thought I really knew...
But love is just not quite that clear
It's juxtaposed with you my dear
I'd rather stay but I must go
for reasons that I do not know
I hope your heart can find a place
to close your eyes and see my face
Remember what it meant to me,
I hope my love can set you free
for I am your eternity,
and with you I will always be
and I will never really say
Goodbye my sweet
So we must both lie down to rest,
No need for you to get undressed
So cover up and go to sleep,
& dry those eyes from tears you weep
Where I am going
I must go alone,
this is your place
this is your home,
you must stay.
One day I know we'll meet again,
In time I know your heart will mend
Through Heavens gate I'll wait for thee
With open arms on bended knee
Where Spirits run
In fields of wheat
To find their souls last one retreat
So I'll instead just say farewell,
& hope in this you will not dwell
You know that I just cannot stay,
the sun will shine again today,
So smile at the sky above
& know that you are truly loved,
We are timeless
So you will know,
you will never
really
be alone.
