Jumping My Shadow |
Maybe someday someone will love me |
for what I am (instead of what I should be.) |
Until that day I’ll just sit here weeping, |
chasing dreams is like shadow leaping. |
The face behind the mirror — an unrecognised reflection, |
his eyes look old and tired — filled with bitter recollection. |
The cross that he has carried was a burden I have made, |
It’s a baptism of tears — they are the seas in which I bathe. |
'Cause there’s a fire in my heart — but I can’t breathe for the smoke, |
seems that I’m living proof my life’s a practical joke. |
There’s a wind in my sails (but I have lost all my direction), |
with no stars to guide me now you’re not here beside me anymore. |
Somehow, somewhere you will discover |
a love so sweet that it taste like no other, |
and on that day may you both drink deep |
from that grail we found — but then we failed to keep. |
It’s a lesson I’ve learned well — some things just cannot be, |
the key that will unlock your soul is someone else (not me). |
But if you should remember — hope you smile and wish me well, |
as I walk my path to heaven through ten thousand miles of hell. |
I stand alone against the cold grey sky, |
it was blue that day (but not as blue as I). |
I left my hearts high on that Roman hill, |
I’ll wait a thousand years but it will be there still. |
Holding hands in silence as the day came to an end, |
we climbed up there as lovers — then we walked back down just friends. |
I’ve know my share of heartaches, never thought of them as bad — |
but had never quite imagined I could ever feel this sad. |
