Indulgence

I would offer her the world

Promised we would never part

I'd indulge her every way

And carve her name forever in my heart

But this is now so long ago,

and I can barely remember.

Her standing there in the pouring rain.

Waiting for someone to save her

3AM and I'm still awake

wandering the streets of a city with no name

somewhere in a window my reflection frowns

the face of an old man

I used to offer her the world

I promised we would never part

I did indulge her every way

Forever kept her in my heart

But years have now come between

My memories are not so clear

so long since I have seen

that face that I hold so dear.

For all the good intentions

my promise didn't hold

forever is such a long time

for people to turn cold

9AM and I'm wide awake

In a graveyard in the city with no name

in the distance a funeral march

makes its way between the graves

It seems so long that we have waited

for our forever to begin

but now they're laying you to rest here beside me

we'll never be apart again
