When I close my eyes what do I see? My life is a day, which day is my last? A thousand days but one I choose to go... When I close my eyes I realize The years have gone and things have changed But the mirror shows the picture of a child The twilight that I'm in denies a sight The time has shown what a friend you are If only I could know what we are living for Momentary thoughts come over me Memories have taken shape Picturing the past into my mind The colors of this world have strained my eyes And what I have done was it all in vain? If only I could know what we are dying for I wished I had the ghost of a stone One with the time wherever I go They seem to outlast the dreams of the past Feeding my soul with eternity My heart will change into a grain of sand A story fortress to defend If only I could know where all the souls will go I wished I had the ghost of a stone One with the time wherever I go They seem to outlast the dreams of the past Feeding my soul with eternity
