Helen

The sounds of yesterday still echo in my head

Distant conflicts unresolved

We were young once,

and in love

Nothing was more real...

more real to feel.

Fools for lovers,

children are

in petty circumstance

Like razors seen

more clearly now

Watching from the outside

looking down

I feel so helpless

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up

the feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand

The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have

And when its gone

There's nothing left but me

sadness whispers her condolences

For the greatest tragedy of all is love lost

But the greatest virtue belongs to those

who will give everything

to love again...

It is a test

I don't think its fair to blame each other

For the happiness we sought but didn't find

Gibran's words i heard in angel's eyes

Too young to understand

But I pause as we grow between the lines

And if the walls of our communion fall to nothingness

How wrong the dreamers would be

But I won't accept it,

I won't give up

World be damned,

for love is hard

And this time...

This time...

I'm not running away

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up

the feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand

The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have

And when its gone

There's nothing left

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up

the feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand

The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have

And when its gone

There's nothing left but me

There is always hope,

and the strongest and the bravest

will always keep it close to them

For if you surrender hope,

then love was right to leave you

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up

the feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand

The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have

And when its gone

There's nothing left

I see angels trapped beneath the ice

And strangers in my bed at night

Cloudy skies to cover up

the feelings buried in the dark

Helen, i think you understand

The night is silent in your hands

I give it everything I have

And when its gone

There's nothing left but me
