For Amelie

Why don't you feel me? Why can't I hold your hand? Never said that you'd leave me And I know you are somewhere I held you up Every time you were down Your crying stopped When I was around... but... Why don't you love me Enough to stay with me? Now tell me truly: Was it there in your heart too? All that I'm left with Is a dream of me and you I held you up Every time you were down Your crying stopped When I was around You filled my soul With your beauty and with hope We're different although We were just like water in sand Why don't you feel me? Why can't I hold your hand? You never said that you'd leave me And I know you are somewhere I held you up Every time you were down Your crying stopped When I was around I held you close When you fell to the ground And now you've torn all my hope apart You could have said good-bye
