lyrics
i won't see you
i don't need to
dream of worlds you'd
lead me pleased through
graceful worlds true
sparkling brand new
hope and inspiration
grew too
faded strangled as you flew through
leave me tangled thoughts of just you
taunt those lonely memories i knew
haunt me with needs now you eschew
haunt me now as once i needed you
find a space
within your gaze
that glows with a light
that will amaze
offer glimpses in a phrase
but let your ego not be praised
and journey toward those simple ways
learn to reach through darks and greys
and pull yourself up
climb and raise
your sights
your heart, your heart it stays
your heart is smart , it know your ways
as it hangs
within your grasp
you reach with hope
that doesn't last
you reach with faith as in your past
forgetful consciousness you clasp
and fall asunder met by blasts
of cold indifference and that nasti-
ness of futile celebrations of the past
declarations innocence it was a mask
empty towns
and empty rooms
like empty sounds
of phoney tunes
stirring calls of lonely loons
across the lake lit by moon
your fall from grace it came to soon
and so you found yourself in ruin
your pieces scattered, visions pruned
scoop some gems in all that has been strewn
recoup and then you hum the same old tune
i won't see you
i don't need to
dream of worlds you'd
lead me pleased through
graceful worlds true
sparkling brand new
hope and inspiration
grew too
faded strangled as you flew through
leave me tangled thoughts of just you
taunt those lonely memories i knew
haunt me with my need now you renew
haunt me as i need you …. yes i do
