I walk down the street
There’s a voice, and a face
In the window
And you reach out a hand
Just a moment too late to be found
I let out a sigh and the wind
Rushes by ‘til I’m faded
And I find out I’ve waited too long.
Your mouth is a cup
Overturned full of wine
And it’s running
Red down the side of a wall
To the soles of your shoes
A moment too late
And the stars will debate
Their returning
I revel too long in the beauty of what used to be.
Open your eyes
And remember the taste of tomorrow
Kiss me and let me
Recant all the lies I have told
Pull back the blinders
And fall somewhere gravity lets you
Free from what shadows may sing to your soul in the dark.
I call out your name
But the voice as it leaves me
Is broken.
Lost and bereft for a one who has left
On a whim.
I smiled in the sun
While the darkness beneath it
Was claiming you
And I find out I’m singing alone.
