Close To The Edge

in the end

all i could see was 

___ l i g h t __

streaming down from your eyes

like never-ending pools

for it was light

that searched for me 

light that saw me light that taught me

light that found on this earth a cocoon for my alien heart

I'm getting put down, I'm getting pushed round, I'm being beaten every day. My life's fading, But things are changing, I'm not gonna sit and weep again.

On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky, The slumber of the earth is pure and deep From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast The old man stirs and wakens in the night He stands before his window gazing at the grave Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by, With memories his one and only joy All he has to give, he would give to bring back the life, And raise the one who lies beneath the snow He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love, But the picture's faded, and time has stolen youth away With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips, He felt another presence in the room, He was filled with fear but filled with joy he arose And turned to face the image that he knew She stood before him and her hand reached out for his A peaceful light shone in her eyes She said she'd come to soothe him, and someday they'd be as one She began to fade and her image disappeared, So he was left alone to face the night, Never in his life, had he been so held in awe, As he faced the apparition of his wife He stood before the window gazing at the grave, And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn, He knew that she was waiting, that someday they'd be as one

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see The path that I have chosen now Has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, A dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, Towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit Would erase To pass beyond is what I seek A fear that I may be too weak And those of you who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, The weight of indecision's in the air Standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, Towering, blocking out the light; its blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, It's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek Are waiting on the other side There's more than I can measure in the treasures of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining through and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss
