Close the door and drift away
|
Into a sea of uncertainty
|
Where all your hopes and dreams
|
Have faded out of reach
|
Remember all the bad dreams
|
Are not far from reality
|
Would you write again for me?
|
|
(let me whisper something in your ear).
|
|
And you awake and there you are
|
Not far off from the line before
|
And just how long did it take for you to understand
|
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
|
Convince yourself to take control
|
Play to the hilt this unlikely role
|
|
Remember all the bad dreams
|
Are not far from reality
|
Would you write again for me?
|
And who bade you stop this living art?
|
Have you forgotten just what you are?
|
If you don't want to then you could at least pretend
|
That the paper's your soul and your blood's the pen
|
And maybe then you'd see the light
|
And read the truth that you had to write
|
|
If heaven sent you downstream
|
Where banished eyes haven't been
|
Would you smile again for me?
|
You misread your fate line
|
Had long run out ahead of time
|
Would you write again for me?
|
|
And you awake and there you are
|
Not far off from the line before
|
And just how long did it take for you to understand
|
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
|
Convince yourself to take control
|
Play to the hilt this unlikely role
|
|
If heaven sent you downstream
|
Where banished eyes haven't been
|
Would you smile again for me?
