Beyond the Lights
Thought you'd bide your time and play your partbut you were wrong dear.Somewhere down the line your lonely heartcould not belong here.And in some frame of reason, beyond our vision,Your love lagged behind and fell apartWithout a soul to hearOn a night like this the stars don't shineand there's no moonlight.We're like you I guess, we bide our time,try to play our parts right,and wonder where you gathered your angry sorrow.Through the rolling mist the scenes unwind.They seem so clear tonight.Were they in your starsthose lonely nights, tormented hours?Something snapped your sparsand slacked your lines and took your powersDid no one see you sinking till you'd gone under?While you slipped so far beyond the lights,were we just watching ours?
