Will You Smile Again
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Close the door and drift away
Into a sea of uncertainty
Where all your hopes and dreams
Have faded out of reach
Remember all the bad dreams
Are not far from reality
Would you write again for me?
Let me whisper something in your ear
And you awake and there you are
Not far off from the line before
And just how long did it take for you to understand
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
Convince yourself to take control
Play to the hilt this unlikely role
Remember all the bad dreams
Are not far from reality
Would you write again for me?
And who bade you stop this living art?
Have you forgotten just what you are?
If you don't want to then you could at least pretend
That the paper's your soul and your blood's the pen
And maybe then you'd see the light
And read the truth that you had to write
If heaven sent you downstream
Where banished eyes haven't been
Would you smile again for me?
You misread your fate line
Had long run out ahead of time
Would you write again for me?
And you awake and there you are
Not far off from the line before
And just how long did it take for you to understand
Where your feelings stopped and writing began
Convince yourself to take control
Play to the hilt this unlikely role
If heaven sent you downstream
Where banished eyes haven't been
Would you smile again for me...
