A lash fell on my cheek,
I stored it away for safe keeping,
In case of emergencies.
Then I could make a wish
In desperate need,
For you to appear before me.
Then I blew it away
Before I could think,
And there you were,
Blinking, blessedly
Who knew,
You,
Who knew,
You,
Could show me,
The ins & outs,
Ins & outs,
The ins & outs,
Of everything?
And I don't want your eyes to fade,
Like the warms winds in May.
But it's time for you to leave,
Leave me be,
Let me be,
Leave me be so ill-conceived,
Only left as a requiem for a dream.

But it's time for you to leave,
Leave me be,

Leave me be so ill-conceived,
Only left as a requiem for a dream.
