I've fallen fast, landed hard,
Cleaned my blood spilled.
Watched the skies for brilliant stars
Never seeing the dark.

Oh--winter nights, raining ice
When you were still just a child.
Laughing eyes, no goodbyes
The joy of a heart gone wild.

Burning heat, blinding sun
You grew to fit my world.
Touch your skin, sparks brilliance
Watch a million tales unfold.

But in the end, without the glasses
That saw everything technicolor
Back to gray, swirling masses
Seeking flashes.

Oh--winter nights, raining ice
Still thinking of you as a child.
Tearing eyes, silent goodbyes
The scars from a love too wild.

Burning heat, blinding sun
You're still everywhere in my world.
The only one, in billions
As tales and dreams unfold.

I could walk through hell and back
Blind myself to all that's past
Laugh and flirt, kiss and lie
Crush my love with every last.

But when I draw my last breath
When I have only strength to die
All I want in my mind
Is your face, the only light that's mine.
