lyrics

(Chorus by Carole King)

You’re far away
And I miss the way you stand next to me
Now I stand alone perplexedly
Without the ingredients to finish the recipe
Vexed that I can’t GIVE YOU the rest of me
This is the universe testing me

Will I ever really get to hold you
Will YOU ever really LET ME get to know you?
Will you REMEMBER stories that I told you?

I keep my memories locked up
Like melodies
Locked in a lock box
Thinking of you endlessly

But there is no end to this
This distance
Thousands of light years but your existance
Shines bright, shining on me tonight with persistance
And if I listen right

I can hear your voice
Musical notes
DRIFT cross the distant void
Im devoid
Of color touch and rhythm
I’m only livin
From decision to decision
Your love gripped my heart and made an incision
Can’t cauterize this wound it continues through fission
Metastasize to my eyes,
I’m losing my vision
My broken heart too large for any physician
I need a MAGICIAN
To send me remission
Road to perdition, end with mortician
die before I finish my MISSION
I’ll scream to the void, will I be forgiven?
Would you have loved me on your own volition?
Or am I simply wishing?
