When
I'm drifting in my dream
I love you
When
I wake and nothing's what it seemed
I love you
When
The final midnight's poised to stroke
I love you
And all of the looking glasses broke
When
All of the aces have been drawn
I love you
When
Your king is cornered by my pawn
I love you
When
You are asleep and so defenceless
I love you
When
This wicked world
Has turned against us
Even though
We didn't kiss goodbye
I love you
When
There are no tears in me to cry
I love you
When
The willow's weeping
With desire
When
The furthest cold and distant planet
Catches fire, fire
Tear at the sky
Haunted by windows
Those are the eyes
Always searching never seeing souls are sailing
Slowly, lonely
When
They've got our names down on a list
I love you
When
I am recalling our first kiss
I love you
When
You are distracted and remote
I love you
When
There is no voice
Left in my throat
When
The rains are spilling from the sky
I love you
When
The thirsty riverbeds are dry
I love you
Though
You never asked me to be yours
When the wild and restless waves are crashing
On the shore
Tear out the sky
Crowded by windows
Those are the eyes
Always searching never seeing souls are sailing
Slowly, lonely
When
You are a million miles away
I love you
When
We've dropped our lines from this mad play
I love you
Though
Our longest battle is not won
I love you
When
The stage is dark
The people gone
When
My soul no longer
Takes its form
And
You hear me singing
In the storm
