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
