Dream

By my side, but turned away
You left long ago
A loving smile that can’t betray
A disappointed heart
And when she cries it brings to mind
All the ways I fail
How useless are my hurtful ways
How selfishly I failed to live the dream
Close your eyes
And rest your head in the silence and the dark
Who can hurt you now?
In the arms of the one you love
If I offer all I have
Can it be enough?
Governed by this helplessness
And these empty hands
And when she cries before the light
No one there to see
The weary heart returns again
To the sanctuary of the dream
Close your eyes
And rest your head in the silence and the dark
Who can hurt you now?
In the arms of the one you love
