In Absence

Find me in the silence, tell me where I've been

The air is growing colder, the clouds are caving in

I lost the sound of your voice in the winter sun

I dreamed that dawn would wake us, but morning never comes

I watched you go away

I watched the colors fade

I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday

To a world of grey

I found you in the shadows following a ghost

I thought you felt my presence, but we were still alone

Where do you turn when the corners of the room run from you?

And how it burns to be a memory lost in a mind you never knew

I watched you go away

I watched the colors fade

I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday

To a world of grey

My fading sunset, swaying precarious in the sand

Every grain a lingering moment

Slipping through the cracks in my hand

Disintegrating in the predawn light

A memory eroded by time

I'll turn with your reversing clock

And describe the color when you can't see the sunrise

I watched you go away

I watched you go away

I watched the colors fade

I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday

To a world of grey
