July 3rd, 1982

Smiling eyes
On a fading face
Begging time,
That's not to waste

[Distant vision
Long ago
Something about
A girl I know]

The cruel sun woke me
From a dream
The day was gone
And so was she

--------------------------

I watched him set a fire,
Upon it placed his love.
His object of desire, and
Burned the symbol dove

I watched accusing eyes
Reflected in the glass
A selfish deed is done
Another chance is past

--------------------------

Will it take the test of time
This love reborn today
In the end will you be mine
Or will it fade away

--------------------------

I watched him stand,
On the threshold of a dream
Saw them fall,
In the raging stream

We saw a light
Dimming fast
But saved the flame
And made it last

The mirror spoke,
Showed me a world
Gave me a beacon
To the future.
I read the words,
As bright as sun
Then left for good,
To be the One.
