Reach for my hand
I'll soar away
Into the dawn
I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls in peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
Faint lights
Pass through colored glass
In this beloved place
Silver shines the world dines
A smile on each face
As joy surrounds comfort abounds
And I can feel I'm breaking free
And for a moment lost in time
I am finally me
Yet still I hide
Behind this mask that I have become
My blackened heart
Scorched by flames
A force I can't run from
As I live out each peaceful day
Deep in my soul
I know I can't stay
So I wish I could hide away
Hold tight to what I love
Keep cruel fate at bay
As the rain falls on your path
I chase your shadow
I don't feel a single drop
Or the ground below
Then you turn to me and I
Stop before I know
And the lie upon my lips
I let it go
Cross my heart
Making vows I know will be betrayed
A sad girl's pleas
Live only for
A breath and then they fade
Don't ever take back your kind hand
Lest precious love
Slip away like time's sand
Only we will know all that was lost
Scars that we can't erase
Show us life's true cost
The blue moonlight
Cuts across our sight
As pure and clear as a ringing bell
Reaching for us in the night
As the wind calms my thoughts
I have strung on this terrace I feel at peace
Carried away by the wind's song
Open the door and walk away
Never give in to the call of yesterday
Memories that made those days sublime
These ruined halls entomb stolen time
Reach for my hand I'll soar away
Into the dawn
I wish I could stay
Here in cherished halls in peaceful days
I fear the edge of dawn
Knowing time betrays
