Once Blue

In the strange light

Of someone else

The air is darkening

There’s no one here

Who can help me see myself

In the once blue

Of better days

A sudden emptiness

I close my eyes

Hoping I might fade away

And if I do

I’ll come to you

As if I’m not too late

For all we are

And all we were

Nights of wonder

Lying under dying stars

Love exactly as it seems

Someone true

To show you who you really are

And the dream you meant to dream

At the still point

Of wild days

There lies a wilderness

Inside of me

Everywhere

But there you are

In the long night

Where you are safe

The ghost of childhood

Is wide awake

Telling you to close your eyes

And if you do

I’ll come to you

As if I’m not too late

For all we are

And all we were

Nights of wonder

Lying under dying stars

Love exactly as it seems

Someone true

To show you who you really are

And the dream you meant to dream

And if you knew

I’d come to you

Nights of wonder

Lying under dying stars

Love exactly as it seems

Someone true

To show you who you really are

And the dreams you’re meant to dream

CODA:  

The way we always meant to be

If we were beautiful and free...
