Love again

Love again

I fell in love again
With this blue eyed baby
Rosey cheeks and freckle creeks
Flowing down from head to feet

But you disappear behind a mirror
When this looking glass used to be so clear
But your eyes met mine and in that lapse of time
You decay away to a previous day
No longer young, and hope drags at your heels
Looking for the one where I feel worthy to kneel

No crown of thorns, no nobel prize
No disguise to hide the pain inside
Just rivers running with fools gold throughout
While I bathe myself in a liquid form of self doubts
I submerge my head and turn my back on the world
The murky waters have dragged many before, I am but a number
But somehow the river prevents me from seeing; from hearing.
My other senses remain, the latter with feet in the grave
But I can still speak and feel beneath waters that shouldn't heal
And this feeling of drowning, its not so unreal

I saw a boy the other day, a man none the less
He wore a white collar and fresh cut khakis, simply the best
And when I went to say hi he passed on by
He mumbled don't follow my path, you hear me never let go
Never stop caring, because it's when it all goes

So what I found was a way to dry out rivers to creeks and even to ponds
In an attempt to return myself to the child hood blonde
And with a flick of plastic and steel I no longer feel
And I'm floating on the pond, humming in my head a song
And I'll lie around all day and night and stick around for morning light.
