Close the door and drift away Have faded out of reach. Into a sea of uncertainty Where all your hopes and dreams Remember all the bad dreams Would you write again for me? Are not far from reality (let me whisper something in your ear) And you awake and there you are And just how long did it take for you to understand Not far off from the line before Where your feelings stopped and writing began Play to the hilt this unlikely role. Convince yourself to take control Remember all the bad dreams Are not far from reality Will you write again for me? Have you forgotten just what you are? And who bade you stop this living art? If you don't want to then you could at least pretend That the paper's your soul and your blood's in the pen And read the truth that you had to write. And maybe then you'd see the light If heaven sent you downstream Would you smile again for me? Where banished eyes haven't been You misread your fate line Had long run out of time Would you write again for me? And you awake and there you are Not far off from the line before And just how long did it take for you to understand Convince yourself to take control Where your feelings stopped and writing began Play to the hilt this unlikely role. Where banished eyes haven't been If heaven sent you downstream Would you smile again for me?
