Always just a breath a way






Author Note: Facing the past can be a burden if not a sin








It is a sad time inside my mind
I watch another dream get away

Cold depths of life just slip today
heard the voice of al-ready there

Can explain the pain I feel this way
Turned my mind to another time

What else is left to say
Every tear melts its way

Saw the picture of you
Wanted to run away

Come here and talk to me
God you grew old

How is it you got this way
age and wrinkle take their toll

How was it in youth
I was able to stay

Please let me be with you
Let us escape this vision anyway

Dreams they seem to be a piece of truth
Never wanted to let them escape to loose

Once I knew a place in your face
for love and the human race

I am a part of the death
I am not ready I can not face with out you

We were love in figure
We were more we were the chase

Heart lays in view of cold
but you have gotten old what happened to you

I feel your fingers on my skin
My mind escapes again

Sun and wind take their toll
As we love each other within

Heard your voice in the last of dream
Life an't as bad as it once seemed

Come and rock with me
I am blind but in my mind I see

Every piece of what you used to be
Making and being in sweet love with me

It is a sad time inside my mind
I watch another dream get away

It is a long lonesome road today

They put you in the ground
