When the last bird sings its morning song,
As the final note brings a moment gone,
A glacial secret floating by in troubled waters wondering why
The barren past under a smoking sky,
The naked truth clothed in a silken lie
Words held prisoner in lips sealed shut
Betraying a past still stuck in a rut
Memories haunting with sinking despair
A new life looking for a breath of fresh air
Reactions unknown a future untold
The day beyond a terrifying threshold
Connections entwined in a heart gone blind
It sees only one precious thing
Holding it close while feeling remote
An illusion on the tip of the tongue
Implanting a weight much greater than fate
A soul’s first and only wish
Farther apart and closer together,
Wondering now if there’s a chance at forever
Waiting by day and thinking at night
How grand it would be to see love’s gentle light
Constantly seen and always surrounding,
That smile’s my life, a thought so confounding
From where did it come, how now can it see
Inside the deepest of pits, inside the darkness she sees
Things not meant for anyone to know
Secrets soon shared with a relationship to grow
That fatal moment when all is revealed
The veil is lifted with nothing concealed
No greater fear then of the choice to come
Will it be now, will she be the one
A long road misleading toward memories still bleeding
There’s a story still to tell
It's full of mistakes and of years burned at the stake
Moments that should have never come to be
Four years in the making, not once was there thinking
Someone might share this one day
There's no way to know how it all will go
For us it will no longer lay low
Great pain and despair now clearing the air
Sit now for a while, no room for denial
There’s a secret from a personal hell
Given to one who will see this moment done
Tell me you are the one
