In Absence

Find me in the silence, tell me where I’ve been
The air is growing colder, the clouds are caving in
I lost the sound of your voice in the winter sun
I dreamed that dawn would wake us, but morning never comes
I watched you go away
I watched the colors fade
I can’t bear the pain of losing yesterday
To a world of grey
I found you in the shadows following a ghost
I thought you felt my presence, but we were still alone
Where do you turn when the corners of the room run from you?
And how it burns to be a memory lost in a mind you never knew
I watched you go away
I watched the colors fade
I can’t bear the pain of losing yesterday
To a world of grey
My fading sunset, swaying precarious in the sand
Every grain a lingering moment
Slipping through the cracks in my hand
Disintegrating in the predawn light
A memory eroded by time
I’ll turn with your reversing clock
And describe the color when you can’t see the sunrise
I watched you go away
I watched you go away
I watched the colors fade
I can’t bear the pain of losing yesterday
To a world of grey
