| Who’s to blame, who’s to say
|
| What is going on inside your head?
|
| I have lost you time and time again
|
| As to what I have seen:
|
| Unexpected acuity of thought
|
| That is gone before too long
|
| And I say
|
| «I know you’re there;
|
| Stay with me.» |
| Even though
|
| I watch the light fade from your eyes
|
| Fade to black
|
| Why won’t you talk? |
| Is it me?
|
| Have I somehow clipped your wings before
|
| You could even try to fly?
|
| In the light of the sun
|
| In quiet, lonely rooms I hear you sing
|
| I’ll be here for you, now don’t you cry
|
| And I say
|
| «I know you’re there
|
| And I am aware
|
| Stay with me.» |
| Even though
|
| I watch the light fade from your eyes
|
| Never to return
|
| In silent corners of my mind
|
| You are just like me
|
| Behind these eyes, I know somewhere:
|
| A brilliant mind, distraught
|
| No matter what awaits ahead
|
| A new light has begun
|
| I see you and I see things
|
| The way that they are
|
| Ahead lies a path
|
| Of thorns and sorrow
|
| I’ll hold your hand
|
| And sing a lullaby
|
| I know you’re there;
|
| And I am aware
|
| Stay with me, even though
|
| I watch the light fade from your eyes
|
| Still, you’re just like me
|
| Behind these eyes, I know somewhere
|
| A brilliant mind, distraught
|
| No matter what awaits ahead
|
| A new light has begun |
