| From a thousand miles away
|
| At a lonely time of day
|
| Leave it up to the night to quietly remind us
|
| Time
|
| Though it mostly slips away
|
| Doesn’t seem to mind the wait
|
| It’s a midnight serenade
|
| Do you feel the same as I do
|
| Close your eyes
|
| Think of what you have beside you
|
| Even I
|
| Understand the reasons why you stay
|
| Oh I am stuck in someone else’s shoes
|
| An unfamiliar view
|
| But I promise not to do the things they do
|
| Oh I would never make you choose
|
| I have so much less to lose
|
| There’s a world between these words and how we use them
|
| So don’t confuse them
|
| Close your eyes
|
| Think of what you have beside you
|
| Even I
|
| Understand the reasons why you stay
|
| I hide behind the waterfall
|
| I wait for you to drink
|
| I sing so you might hear these words
|
| But sadly so might she
|
| She knows you disappear sometimes
|
| But knows that you will stay
|
| And so I end this story with
|
| One last serenade
|
| Close your eyes
|
| Think of what you have beside you
|
| Even I
|
| Understand the reasons why you stay |
