Fading Tracks

I once travelled these roads
I know these tracks
Like i know I'll never again
Ive been hidden
Away from sight
Inside a white box

With eyes closed
I know where I'm being taken
I feel as if my heart
Would beat again
I was young and full of life
Until yesterday.

Today is a beautiful day
The sun shines
And the sky so blue
Unlike yesterday
It was cold and grey.
And full of tragedy

Something stirs inside of me
As i hear a woman wail
I dont recognize her
Yet she weeps for me
I search through the maze
Of my memories slowly fading

I know i miss someone
Yet my soul longs for another
The clouds seem closer now
Night has suddenly come
I see a lonesome star beckon
Far away in the night sky

Where are the stirring of the leaves?
Or the buzzing of the bees?
Im light like the wind
I only know the elements
The tracks slowly fade away
As i become one with the firmament
