In Absence

Find me in the silence, tell me where I've been The air is growing colder, the clouds are caving in I lost the sound of your voice in the winter sun I dreamed that dawn would wake us, but morning never comes I watched you go away, I watched the colors fade I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday to a world of grey I found you in the shadows following a ghost I thought you felt my presence, but we were still alone Where do you turn when the corners of the room run from you? And how it burns to be a memory lost in a mind you never knew I watched you go away, I watched the colors fade I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday to a world of grey My fading sunset, swaying precarious in the sand Every grain a lingering moment, slipping through the cracks in my hand Disintegrating in the predawn light: a memory eroded by time I'll turn with your reversing clock and describe the color when you can't see the sunrise I watched you go away I watched you go away, I watched the colors fade I can't bear the pain of losing yesterday to a world of grey
