Beyond the lights

Thought you'd bide your time and play your part

but you were wrong dear.

Somewhere down the line your lonely heart

could not belong here.

And in some frame of reason, beyond our vision,

Your love lagged behind and fell apart

Without a soul to hear

On a night like this the stars don't shine

and there's no moonlight.

We're like you I guess, we bide our time,

try to play our parts right,

and wonder where you gathered your angry sorrow.

Through the rolling mist the scenes unwind.

They seem so clear tonight.

Were they in your stars

those lonely nights, tormented hours?

Something snapped your spars

and slacked your lines and took your powers

Did no one see you sinking till you'd gone under?

While you slipped so far beyond the lights,

were we just watching ours?
