The Loving Lie

If the world fades into darkness who will hold my lonesome hand Who will sweep me off my feet to swing and dance across the land If the clouds fall down and the rain comes knocking upon my weathered door Who will tell me I'm okay--and if tomorow doesn't come, then whats forever for? I'll hold my breath and cross my fingers tight across my chest The world can take away from me whatever it can steal, but stolen was my heart already--therefore I cannot feel The darkness that surrounds me, I know it very well and if I hide away from the light I'll never know the sight A baby crying down the hall, or lovers in a blissfull state I cannot feel the life I missed and no matter how I try the light's always just a step away from my line of veiw I'll never see that light again unless I hold again what's true A love so strong and passionate, the years just travel by but lovers know just how they feel--even if they chose to lie
