Something You Lost

She'll never know
When she tells you goodnight
The fear that you hide
As she lays by your side
When you stand
All the thoughts of a man
Etched right in your face
Still she lays there
How the warm
How the god in you so
Is the stuff of these bones
Once broken and cold
And you go home
And you sleep in your bed
Feel like you're dancing in sync
With the ghosts in your head
And she waits
You say, go back to sleep
And you dare never say
The greatest secret you keep
Is that you might be alone
That you might have to run
That the rest of your life
Will be a series of nights
That you spend in your mind
Staring backwards through to time
At something you lost
And you'll never be home
You'll never be warm
Eyes closed in the sun
On a warm day in June
But on the damp, dirty floor
Of your wintry cold room
YOu see a face in the dust
How it fills you up
And you say hello
Hello
Please don't ever leave
Please don't ever go
And you can call me a man
It's etched right in my face
But it can never stand
The endless expanse of space
All around us alone
Just this once my home
One brief moment of time
The only thing I call mine
It's this line that we cross
Now we came like a call
Of everything that I love
