On the Stage

I sit here on the stage
Everybody’s leaving
And the staff have all been paid
Then come the lights
I move swiftly, I move quickly
But I only think of you tonight
And in the morning glow
Breakfast is tabled
I can see the browning snow
Out in the yard
And you’re only coming with me
‘cause I’m lonely when we’re apart
Honey I miss you
Honey I miss you now
I feel like it’s getting dark outside
All your lonely tears get me down
And all your wisdom and your fears just compound
I don’t often say that I’m beginning to feel afraid
And I too often see all the struggles in thine eyes
I can’t see straight let alone linger and heal
And all that I had known it fell beneath me
Caught my feet in the undertow
But I felt alive and I tumbled through the white water
Tumbling from side to side
Honey I miss you
Honey I miss you now
I feel like it’s getting dark outside
All your lonely tears get me down
And all your wisdom and your fears just compound
I don’t often say that I’m beginning to feel afraid
And I too often see all the struggles in thine eyes
I can’t see straight let alone linger and heal
And it’s these things
These things get me down
But it’s these things
These things get me down
