While You Were Away

Talking to anyone at all

Even talking to the wall

My tallest friend

Clocks chime forever-marking time

Like a song without a rhyme

There's no good end

And I wonder where you've been

Were you in your wildest dream?

Are you going back in or will you stay?

You've been ever on my mind

I was never so blind

Then the colors came to replace the grey

Too far across an empty room

The wrong end of a zoom

You loom too small

Lights dim, but I can make you out

A silhouette in doubt about to fall

And I wonder where you've been

Were you in your wildest dream?

Are you going back in or will you stay?

You've been ever on my mind

I was never so blind

Then the colors came to replace the gray

I was never so blind

Then the colors came to replace the grey

While you were away
