Sign of the Times

SONG 34...
I wrote this one at the end of last week, but forgot to put it up here. Enjoy. May the next one be about the second meeting...

BACK WHERE THIS BEGAN

You…somewhere in the dark
Light a candle while we’re apart
Hope…an intangible thing
But it encircles us like a ring

If you could see what’s going on
Would you have stayed away half as long?

**CHORUS**
You, you’re the only thing that is left
I need to find you…to see you
There is nothing else
But a cold stretch of pavement
Cut across the land
That leads you back where this began

Love…like gravity’s force
Keeps me grounded on the right course
This fire engulfs all that I am
From this moment back to where we first met

If you could feel the flames untamed
Would you have travelled half as far away?

**Chorus**

I…I’m flesh and broken bone
I’m broken and whole
All at the same time
You…you’re death and you’re life
You’re shadow and light
To me, that’s the same thing…

If you could read what’s in my soul
You would question half of what you know

**Chorus**

That cold stretch of pavement
Cut across the land
Leads you back to where I am...
