Heartstrings

A thousand years or so it seems, we're tied by blood and love

In this lifetime, in the past, promises everlast

I've seen your face so many times, it brings joy and pain

Whether we've been close or apart, these memories remain

Overcast and out of light, I pray for some hope of dawn

If I could remember your song, love never gone

I'm losing you once again, I'll take care of you

Just like you did when I was young, hold your hand

You touch me, you pull my heartstrings

Will I emerge from the deep that drowns me?

Someday I'll feel the sun shine on these dreams

Then I'll know there's a place I can breathe

If I could manipulate time, I'd stretch it out for you

Take the time to thank the one I've always looked up to

Push away your silence, to hear your laughter once again

Keep you warm through the night for a smile or a glance

Did my heart just skip a beat, you're fading fast for me

"Fides, per semper," gives myself belief

"Skyrocket through the universe, shade winking stars, that far.

The seventh day, the seventh week, on earth, a great rebirth."

I'm losing you once again, I'll take care of you

Just like you did when I was young, hold your hand

You touch me, you pull my heartstrings

Will I emerge from the deep that drowns me?

Someday I'll feel the sun shine on these dreams

Then I'll know there's a place I can breathe
