A tribute to a passed away friend & father on his 5th anniversary today.
———–
You were never one for waiting,
Still I always thought you’d wait for me.
And have you from your dreams awakened,
And from where you are what do you see?
Which of us is now in exile?
Which in need of amnesty?
Are you now but an illusion
In my mind alone you breathe?
You believed in things that I will never know,
You were out there drowning but it never showed.
Till inside a rainswept night, you just let go.
You’ve thrown it all away,
And now we’ll never see the ending to the play,
The grand design, the final line,
And what was meant to be.
In the dark a distant runner,
Now has disappeared into the night.
Leaving us to stand and wonder,
Staring from this end into your life.
You believed in things that I will never know,
You were out there drowning but it never showed.
Till inside a rainswept night, you just let go.
You’ve thrown it all away,
And now we’ll never see the ending to the play,
The grand design, the final line,
And what was meant to be.
And if this is all illusion,
Nothing more than pure delusion,
Clinging to a fading fantasy,
Like Icarus who heeds the calling
Of a sun but now is falling,
As the feathers of his life fall free..
Can you see?
See?
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do.
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue.
Perhaps inside this midnight sky,
Perhaps tomorrow’s newborn eyes,
Or could it be? We’ll never know.
And after all this was the show.
What am I to do?
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do?
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
Gotta get back
What am I to do?
Standing on a dream isn’t what it seems.
Could we then reclaim a dream refused?
Knowing what we know, could we let it go?
Realizing that all the years are used.
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do.
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue.
I am the way, I am the light,
I am the dark inside the night.
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams,
And in the dark I hear your screams.
Tomorrow and after
You tell me what am I to do.
I stand here believing
That in the dark there is a clue…
