Kiss from a Distance
Rolling thunder drawing near.
Looking to the sky, hope within you building.
Standing lone, knees weak.
What now lies ahead?
Look around the baron grassland.
Dying stalks of sun dried wheat, twisting upon itself.
Wind strong gusts, burning at your back.
Clouds you see gray, emptiness inside.
The color of your tears you think.
A blackened, scared heart.
Cast your hands up to the sky, demand your answers now.
Thinking back, a reminiscing drought.
Looking down upon blood stained hands, God I tried so hard.
Never giving up, filled so much with hope.
Her inspiration guiding you, your light, drowned to the wind.
Crying out the hateful words of lost abandonment.
Searching for your soul of gray, are you wandering for naught?
Eyes of sullen lingering thoughts, gaze up upon the sky.
The thunder rolling over head, aching for it's light.
One lone tree your only friend, out among the field.
Hold your hands up to the sky, crying blood stained tears.
Glazed eyes of miserable despair searching the horizon,
knowing she is there.
Deafening sound, the light cast down, embrace its warmth.
Looking forward in the haze, ahead you see her soul.
Why is she not happy, why does she wear a frown?
Once you said you loved me, was it ever true?
Dying embers of your heart now left to fade.
I would give my life for you.. because my love was true.
As I lay here dying, the light of thunder taking me.
Breath of sweet life leaving.
Darkness climbing, winning over light.
The devil at my back taunting.
Dear God, what have I done?
As I lay there dying, few words I can only say.
I loved you once, and that will always stay.
