Stand Aside

To think upon a day's life gone
To wander by as memories go
To stop and hear your calling
One frozen moment

I let you leave and walk away
Blameless for my crime
Looking over my shoulder's farewell
A parting I shan't mutter

The moon shines down
Envious as Romeo and Juliet
Alone as one they stand
Alone as one I am

O fate befall me
As the sun draws nearer
The hateful light
That drove you where you lie

To let the past incarnate go
To let the light shudder through my veins
To start a pace again, so soon
To bury you deep away
In my heart
