Without a name

I am happy
since a long time
I am happy
one with the world
it's been a long time
I am happy
it's been a long time
I knew

a restless time
has come  to an end
I am content
I am ev'rything
I could ever be
it's been a long time
since I knew

I haven't changed
still the same
still that smile
it's been a while
since I knew
there was a you

I'll never know
who you are
a face in a frame
a face
without a name

it makes me happy
to look at you
one I never knew
but you're there
all I do is stare

at you
in that frame
without a name

it's been a long time
since I knew
there was a you
I'll never be the same
since I saw you
in that frame

Looks like yesterday

clouds are breakin', sun's touchin' my face

 

standin' in the window, I hear it tearin''  at the frame

 

it's

 

wantin' to see inside

 

where emptiness is awake, 'cause you went when I slept

 

leaving me with a note, a reminder I failed

 

and

 

nothin'

 

remained

 

 

just one of those things, happens ev'rytime

 

startin' out to win, we ran out of time

 

and

 

time

 

creates and seperates as it has now

 

 

 

he'd been waitin' such a long time, you felt you owed him

 

your life

 

 

 

lookin' back it seems only yesterday

 

we

 

promised faith

 

yes

 

it

 

looks like yesterday

 

so

 

now I want to feel good, throw a switch

 

hear old music, but it doesn't give me that old feelin'

 

again

 

somehow it sounds different

 

if

 

it

 

doesn't want to be played, I'm searchin' for reasons

 

as

 

always I find a lot, none of them so serious

 

they coudn't be solved, looks like yesterday she made me believe

 

she'd never leave

 

 

she

 

up an' went when I slept, leavin' me a note

 

with

 

a

 

lot of reasons I never knew we had

 

 

looks like yesterday, she lay next to me

 

lyin' back in to arms, takin' a rest, still she went when I slept

 

destroying my confidence

 

in

 

whatever came next
