I sit under a maple tree as rain falls to the ground.
I can see the flashes of lightning,
And I can hear thunder's sound.
But still, I cannot move from this place.
No matter where I go, I see your face.
It matters not if I die here,
For all the memories I once held dear
Have vanished like a summer's day.
They have all just drained away.
Until they return, this is how my heart will stay.
What use is a broken soul?
What use is love when you don't have control?
No matter how close I hold you in my dreams,
My life is falling apart at the seams.
The portraits in the bedroom glare at me,
Smiling back hauntingly.
Their faces are full of happiness.
I am spellbound by an illusory caress.
Then it all bursts before my eyes.
The magic fades, and suddenly dies.
And even after all my tries,
Tears still stain my pillowcase.
All my hopes vanish without a trace.
So now that I am calling to you,
I hope you will help my visions come true.
I hope that I will then know
The reason why I love you so.
Maybe then my thoughts will become clear...
Once I am staring into your eyes.
Once I am holding you near.
