I can’t feel myself tonight

And I can’t hear your thoughts today

The catacombs of my mind are locked away

I can’t whisper quietly to this evening light

And I can’t do anything more then pray

To open up the feelings I have sealed away

For me and for tomorrow, for you and for your soul
for us and for this sorrow, for you the one I can’t hold

Now my heart has grown silent without your call

My heart has grown cold without your warmth

Now my heart has grown old behind this wall

My heart has grown unstable without your comfort

 

And I can’t feel the soft rain tapping down tonight

As it lightly whispers your voice tender to my ears

Wallowing in wish lists from the waves in my mind

And I can’t feel the gentle, soothing, cooling moonlight

As I’m drowning inside of my own childish fears

Walking circles in the waters of my inner sight

For them and for the loss, for you and for the feelings

For the chain and cross of He who holds all meanings

Now there’s nothing left but the rain in my eyes

Nothing that I can speak to try and keep

The pain from growing wild and uncontrolled inside

I just wish this was all just a dream

 

Just ordinary people underneath our Lord’s sun

Why was it us, why were we the ones?

And now it’s coming down wrapped up in clouds of love

Why was it us, why were we the ones?

Just ordinary people underneath the stars

Why is it us, why are we who we are?

And now it’s coming down wrapped up in wings of doves

Why is it us, why are we who we are?

 

And I will meet you again my dearest, where all the roads end

Where tomorrow meets today and the past is woven in

You’ll be waiting there for me, on a storm clouds breath of wind

The gust of life so fragile and agile, suspiring on the horizon

And we will be together, one again among the rest upon the end

Resting as breathless as the night, dreaming as seamless as the skies

Just you and me, just us and no one else tonight

 

Just ordinary people underneath our Lady’s moon

Why did you have to leave me so soon?

And now it’s come down wrapped up in the arms of God above

Why did you have to leave me so soon?

 

And underneath the moon I’ve planted a sunflower for you

Someday soon I hope that it will grace us all and bloom

Blossoming beautiful and bold, spreading high above the world

Thick contour lines across the sky, draped inside your eyes

Like this rainbow in my hands stretching to the night sky

Shining radiant light like a crystal from within your eyes

Nothing is more beautiful to me, more beautiful then you
