Since I was a child |
|
I've seen her in a dream |
|
A captured fairy tale that echoes 'cross my life |
|
And though |
|
I've courted her, she's always stayed unseen |
|
Now all at once she glitters in the night |
|
But that was yesterday and that all was before |
|
When she was far away, a silhouette of dreams |
|
But others whispered that she was so much more |
|
And suddenly |
|
I now know what they mean |
|
Dreams change, years strain |
|
Lost illusion's last stands |
|
God's hand, absolution found |
|
Fairy tale sins, visions by grim, all forgiven |
|
Lives spent in vain, never reclaimed take their final bows |
|
Pictures and words, visions absurd |
|
Maddened poets all within sights |
|
Failures in life who'll never know it |
|
Lazarus cries there in his eyes |
|
Hope has risen, depth and facade all before me now |
