This Beautiful Pain

Day was young and desire was

stirred. Summer was all but

gone. Light was fading from the

side of your face. Sinking low

in the corn. All that's constant

and wise I still see in your

eyes it was always this way from

the start. Right here whre I

stand on the last of the land.

Bur you're still breaking the

heart. Now all I have is rushing

right through my hands. Sailing

over the seas. Down that tide

where fresh and salt combine.

All victories are released. We

who wrestle the years have

traded our fears for a glimpse

of ecstasy in the dark. Turning

ice in the fire but still we're

denied. But you're still

breaking the heart. The skies

turned red without failure. They

held their promise and dread

till the last. You put all of my

youth in my future. You put the

future back into my past. So

shine a light and shine it

brightly now. You know it all

takes it's course. And all the

many ways I've tried so hard to

reach this potent source. On the

day behind time across the

divide. Along the cord came all

light out of dark. Now I stand

amaze in this beautiful pain.

But you're still breaking the

heart.
