interim

yesterday as the fog was lifting
i thought of you standing there
so far away i could not reach out
and touch my hand to yours

i went to bed last night and almost prayed
for you to come through alright
but then i remembered my heathen soul
and wish you well instead

your voice come out of the darkness
and my heart it skipped a beat
happy i was to feel so close
but still something not quite right

if it were my place i'd tell you to stay
though i can't tell what's best for you
that's something i simply don't know
so i'll hold my breath and wish you well again

i know you're feeling hollow
and there's nothing no one else can do
take one more step and fall away
decisions made down on your knees

you know that i cope by punching walls
and telling no one but the wind
at least you have the strength of scaffold
though no one can really help but you

so take that step and fall away
see what happens, what really matters
to me, to you and those you care for
and those that return that care in kind

the dawn it breaks and the fog remains
i'm trying hard to get my mind clear
i just don't know where this road leads
but still i want you here with me.
