Tallahassee

The morning brings a memory of a dream.
It seems that's all it is when you're not here
Because I feel I've known you forever.
I've never seen your eyes.
Will I ever?
I pray...

The cold room where I lay my head
Is better when I think of you
And try to remember
The things I thought you said to me
Before I realized I was asleep.

I think I could leave all I am.
All I know and all you know seems to fade
away with everything you say.
Solace in your voice and in your ways.

A sanctuary ripped from me by distance.
It teases me with its very existence.
An angel spreads her wings.
But I think I have to sleep if I'm to dream.

Turn my head and open my eyes.
Weren't you just there?
I saw you dancing in the stars.
reaching out to touch you.
But it's all so far away from me
If I let go then you're near.
