you saw me by the riverbank
turning the water into a sea
listening to a tale of woe
that the nightingale sang to me
i saw you by the riverbank
your hair the glow of honey
i listened to the song you sang
that lifted all my misery
you saw me looking at the stars
their brilliance mirrored in mine eyes
but darkness still engulfed within
and through my truth of lies
i saw you looking at the stars
echoing their magnificence
your brilliant smile illuminating
a heart so dull and dense
you saw me dancing in the woods
to tunes i could not hear
i waltzed across the freezing earth
with beasts that i should fear
i saw you dancing in the woods
with grace that none can bind
you waltzed across and melted earth
with beasts — a soul too kind
you saw me masking all my misery
but all you did was stare
with eyes that burned with vehemence
to wake and find her there
i saw your exquisite bravery
but there was nothing i can do
i burned with outmost longing
to wake and dream with you
he wanted to embrace her
she wanted so to be with him
but all she could do was cry her loss
and all he could do was dream
so he did not even kiss her hand
he refused to dream again
he knew too well to fall inlove;
suffer pain that knows no end
and there he was inside his car
sheltered from the storm and rain
but the lightning caused his lights to flicker
and his aged blood to stain
in a flash of light his vision left
but he knew that he shall live
two cars had turned to scrap at once
now a million folks shall grieve
but none had mourn as much as he
when he pulled the cover off he corpse
his smitten soul could take no more
and he was filled with vile remorse
a familiar face he used to see
was smothered thick with blood
she has died the second time
now the audience shall applaud
