I want a life he said Where everything's right he said The first thing out loud for two days The pieces are many If I miss one I'll be empty I know it's a lot but that's me My thoughts are all one My thoughts are all one I know there's a place he said A beautiful place he said I'll wait 'cos there's only one way The waiting gets harder And my patience slips further But I wait slowly by each new day My thoughts are all one My thoughts are all one I'm burning inside in this cold winters sun My thoughts are all one My thoughts are just one Let me go Out by the river here I still know what I really fear But at least I can breathe for a while One day I'll come back home But won't walk this path alone And think of this boy here and smile
