Jasmine

Night was slowly falling when I thought I heard your voice
Left you in the city when I heard I had a choice
I tried, I know I only lied
I was resigned to my life, babe
Here within the darkness where my choices are my own
I could smell the jasmine, I could see our sacred home
I fear, I may have left what’s dear
But I’ll be here for a while, babe
Oh, my stars are wandering, so far from me
I’m blind, you see
Take one look and pass me by, as days go by
You’ll heal, I’ll die
I suppose my roots may grow without
My feet set in stone, bones free to roam from doubt
All I’m owed is all I owe myself
Rivers of truth, canyons of peace and wealth
Oh, my stars are wandering, so far from me
I’m blind, you see
Take one look and pass me by, as days go by
You’ll heal, I’ll die
I don’t feel, so run in fear
