Beneath this sky, I'm lost in wonder. The stars seem cold, they're so far off. Still they are not what my mind ponders, But how they light your face so soft. In warmth of day the sunlight travels Only to touch you carefully. As that dark universe unravels, Here you are now, within my reach. Who can compare? I would not hear it, When you deny it all the while. Your breath so sweet, your words so perfect, Behind your shining diamond smile. So now I'm lost in adoration, And you find yourself being chased. Are you a victim of bad fortune, Or I a victim of your grace? I would withdraw, make myself someone, But you'd just know who I am now. Don't shut your eyes, I've only begun To draw this fortune from the ground. So often life is just a one-man war With an entire world of thought. Just trust and love me, I need no more, Then I could die so proud I fought. Trying to learn a whole new language, These letters can't say the right words. But what you told me in plain English is The hardest thing I've ever heard. You said that I must go without you, Apologized, you're so far gone. I have tried not to think about you, But my rogue mind goes on and on. These picture frames fell and are fading, Everything losing clarity, And frankly now, I tire of waiting No, this won't bring you back to me. I needed change, I'm on my own now, Oh all the wonders I have seen! I will get back to tell you somehow This world's the saddest place I've been. I'm down-and-out, and up with the sun, Only one place I'd rather be. I've been your trampoline for so long, I'm having trouble feeling free. With good sense, I know you did leave me In such a state I'd never do. But dove, please tell me you believe me When I say that I'm still true.
