A million times it has come to me
A million times it has come to me
And a million times gone away
To leave me fearing its disappearance
And alone in the darkest night.
Yet all the stars return, alight
And dance once again like they did.
Every time they go out I fear it’s for good
And yet it never is.
I close my eyes and forget today;
Unable to hold onto the notes of the song
That fly into the past, that mysterious abyss.
Whenever I close my eyes I fear
What I can’t hold onto will disappear
And I’ll wake up to find it vapor, what was –
And yet it never does.
Still whenever I close my eyes:
I touch the emptiness of memories.
