The weight of the eternity gone,
I lie in a numb tranced wonder
Of drowning thoughts
And happy senseless mem'ry
And revel in the drowsy present
That was never meant to be
And marvel at the lovely things
That I was never meant to see
In shallow consciousness it seems that
Only a moment forsakes what I have dreamt
And I will soon be gone
A mem'ry in his ever-graying eyes
That just like mine seem to see the dark,
Forever slumb'rous velvet case apart
To comfort shaking, sighing souls
And quiet sobs that choke them when alone
The times I can see in our every move
Send waves of dull nostalgia through my veins
And pass through mine eyes
In soft and swirled clouds of gray
That hide the stars and ever shining moon
To swear I will nevermore hear them sing
Their soft message unto the night
Of love and care and ever present life
