the sadness
The stars they sink In the oceans of ink Long black ribbons of cars And in the taxi You ask me how I'm doing But you already know Beyond, beyond is not through Its only a reflection of you And something at the window It motions with its fingers Calling me beyond The sadness is mine The sadness is mine Its why you're not healing me And whatever has come for me Oh I can give you whatever you're wanting Just take it and spare me spare me Please oh tell me this is only a warning/no Please have mercy let me go If only a day to let her know Without her love I'm nothing at all The change is happening and I'm almost gone In her heart is my faith And it wins against the sadness The train it moves through the desert The horses they will challenge its stride And into the boxcar she leaps And is my hero And penetrates the demons inside The clouds they pass But they're moving so fast As I watch them collide Collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child I am at one reborn The fog in the mote As he grabs me by the throat It lifts as she comes She opens her cloak and the color of blood It is the sign of what now must come Deny deny me my destiny I am not ready to go I am the horror that brings us to the morning Where I will have to stand up and fight
