The Boy Who Could Fly

Each cold and lonely morning

When the sunlight hits the wall

I wake to find that nothing

Has changed for me at all

I know there was a better time

In a better place

But just like a fading dream

I can’t recall your face

As the years pass me by

I can’t remember why

Time steals the memories

From before we were apart

But time can’t heal

This empty feeling in my heart

Home was the place where we shared a life

But you flew away and you never said goodbye

But there’s a fleeting image

That clings still to my mind

Eyes of hope and sadness

Both so artfully entwined

And when the season changes

When the autumn leaves drift by

I try to remember the boy who could fly

What did you say?

Why did you go away?

Time steals the memories

From before we were apart

But time can’t heal

This empty feeling in my heart

Home was the place where we shared a life

But you flew away and you never said goodbye

Fly from the window

To the darkness as it calls

Fly through the dreaming night

Stardust as it falls

There’s a memory I hide behind a wall

You never really flew away at all

I hear the sirens wailing in the night

In a moment’s desperation

You were gone from sight

I see your face in the mirror’s glass

Won’t you take me with you now at last?
