Where are you? Why won’t you go?
Remembered rendezvous reminded me of you,
Ever silent by my side,
And through the hollow years,
The poverty and fears,
With me you would remain,
A dream that kept me sane,
A light to see me through,
Ethereal, yet true.
Where are you? Why won’t you go?
Others heard that sea,
Those crashing waves in me,
And begged to ride along,
You put me on the track,
But I kept on looking back,
And patiently you sighed,
And let the others ride,
But the damage had been done.
God damn what I’ve become
Where are you? Why won’t you go?
Dreams will force realities to march into the sea,
But soon enough, those dreams, in turn, are drowned,
Bitter cries and hopes and sighs will rise one final time,
To sink forever, never to be found,
Sink forever, never to be found
Where are you? And why won’t you go?
How wretched I must seem,
To keep on chewing through this dream,
This musty lullaby,
Too lost and loose and dumb,
To stop and wonder why you’d come,
And with your poison in my heart,
Tear the other dreams apart,
For a one-way love affair,
With the sweet forever there,
As prize.
