I have turned the pages now
Your face has faded and it's clear
The love we had has wilted dry
But it was here we said goodbye
And knew we had our future poured
Beside a locked and bolted door
It was, you see, what’s meant to be
But who decides these things for me?

I think of how we traveled here
We nursed each other out of fear
And forgot what had led us there
Because we never understood
That all the world won't help us now
They never cared which road we took
Some clouds we made with others' help
Have parted us from sight and yet
We feel each other day to day
And wonder if we are so right
That we have blocked the pathway's light
Which leads to what we always wanted
With gates we used to fill with flowers
They need our nourishment its true
We have left them there without a clue
Is it too late to save them now?

I think of you on distant streets
Wondering if your path is sweet
I've hesitated far too long
To play again our favorite song
But then again your words ring true
Of how your plans did not come through
Knowing you so well I see
Your glow had not included me
For now while high above the world
Flying still away from you
I can think so clearly now
And see your shadow in my mind
But not your face it's faded out
Was that your plan or was it right
To miss you so and need your smile
You know it's sad, it's been awhile
But then again your plan is clear.


I've walked the docks in Frisco Bay
And been to Alkatraz and yet
That prison followed me as though
It said to me you need to know
The walls are not what binds you there
It's knowing that the wind somehow
That I have felt will somehow blow
And reach you face in candle glow
To cause the flame to flicker bright
I hope it gives you sight tonight
For I have sent it there you see
From deep within my soul to say
I am not a timeless whisper
There is a day when this will stop
And just become a memory
Without a shred of help from you
Our love will finally waste away.
