The Captive Heart |
The old clock is ticking now |
Marks the space between us Your memory enshrouds my heart |
For I am held a captive |
Sometimes my soul desires |
To take leave of this old world |
To spread these golden wings and fly |
To the city of angels |
But then if I close my eyes |
I can see you standing there |
Your face in permanence smiles |
Your lips a chalice |
Seems like I’ve loved you all my life |
Never thought I’d find you |
Some day the muse may lend these words wings |
So I can touch you |
But hey! |
Don’t worry if the feelings not strong for you |
I have lived my life in accordance |
To the windfalls of passion |
Though I know how it feels |
To be loved and then forgotten |
I have seen too many men |
Driven insane by their distractions |
