Longing

Once, we were here beside the sea Walking through the sand without a word You picked up a pebble, kept it in your pocket Maybe you wrote my name, maybe you let it disappear

Some nights we would stare into the sky While darkness wrapped itself around us Those giant stars would talk about us And you would whisper our love into my ear

Now you’re living on Longing Lost between the buildings People have condemned you For the crime of defying time

How heavy it is when you cannot speak Pen and paper, your only friends Even the ink of our love has dried away And regret comes far too late

Your eyes have turned into a place of fire You’ve chained your soul against the rocks Who are you leaving me behind with? Lay those dreams down now

Now you’re living on Longing Lost among your dreams The spirits have condemned you For the crime of loving me
