I'd wanted to
Piece together time,
String every zone into unity
And make them mine
So I would never
Call to find
I'd woken someone up
In the middle of the night.
I've wanted to
Collapse the vast abyss of space,
Forbid ten thousand miles
To keep me from
A warm embrace, my hand
So yearned to sip
Across the curvings of
A loving face.
Floodlights bleed the tunnels orange
And deep blue skies
From morning's eyes
Contrast more than ever before.
That face could be anyone's,
Anyone's at all
In this station of a thousand loves,
Airport of a million dreams
Not a day expired
That did not see
A casualty
Of life or love or liberty...
Or colder yet, all three.
But as for me,
Sitting in the fray and watching
Clouds and planes in the land of the free,
You can send me away
And I'll still be the same old me.
The earth may shake
And hearts may shift
And friends in high places
Succumb to a rift
And hell freezes over
And death and disorder
Surround my own quarters
But I promise, I
Will always survives
And save the last moment
To smile
And watch you smile back
Like we used to
So recently, long ago...
But the question is this:
If I left you behind,
Will I see you again,
Or will change make you dead
To me? |
