I'm gonna try,
And I'm gonna fail.
Then I'm gonna try, try, try,
And I'll try again.
I'm gonna lose,
Time and again.
But, I'm gonna keep playing, baby,
Because someday I'll win.
The longer it takes,
The sweeter it will taste.
The prize is the flavor,
And it's love that I'll savor.
So, if you brush me aside,
Just know I'll be waiting,
My patience, enduring
And love, unabating.
My faith, my desire,
Knows no limitations.
You'll know me one day,
Meanwhile, no lamentations.
As rises the sun,
With certain precision,
And shine do the stars,
Through the vast expansion,
I'll be just like clockwork,
I won't let you down.
When you need someone be to be there,
Know I'll be around.
I sorta needed you, baby.
I kinda wanted you, dear.
I hoped you would call on me,
When you wanted someone near.
I guess it wasn't my time,
And maybe he's who you want.
It's sad that you gave in
To his virtueless vaunt.
These grapes are not sour.
They are sweet on the vine.
My love in undaunted.
Still, here I wait.
I wish that he could make you happy.
He doesn't have what it takes.
The moment you know that,
Then know I await.
From under the viaducts,
And the shadows beyond the stage,
Behind heavy curtains,
Let my love asage.
You know we should crash like the cymbal.
You know we should anger the Sea.
You know that the sky should rumble
In praise of our unity.
I'll keep thinking that I'm next to you,
Cause sometimes thinking is all a man can do.
I'll long for your embrace,
If you would only give me grace,
I would give my world to you.
Per my usual, as of late, these are song lyrics. As I was writing them just now, I felt inspired by The Phantom of the Opera.
