Basement door is still open, bottle and glass where you left them, waiting to be filled with life and a song

there once was a vision of sweet love
cast upon a throne of fate
in a moment of youth
I held you close
and you shared my name
time it is the wisdom
of tears that never came
over the bar calls out
but you never came

do you look at him and wonder
how long it has been
do see in a window crying
truth from long dead friend
do run to the heart that is waiting
how sad is to be
truth is you are free now
do you still anything for me
how does the world turn
do take its toll
how long has been
truth is I do not know

heaven and hell hold no answers
only visions the same
for in the arms of another
you still play your game
and I dance in the clouds of lot of want to bes
just over the rainbow
you were once loved by me

do you dance every dance with fever
built in words left to page
how do you live in wonder
truth is you have aged

do you look at him and wonder
how long it has been
do see in a window crying
truth from long a dead friend

and the piano it is memory
kisses so long ago
microphone still smells like beer
in the tears you let me go

there once was vision of sweet love
cast upon a throne of fate
in a moment of youth
I held you close
and you shared my name
time it is the wisdom
of tears that never came
over the bar calls out
but you never came
