where were you
when i was burned and broken
while the days sleeped by
from my window watching
and where were you
when i was hurt and i was helpless
because the things you say
and the things you do surround me
while you were hanging yourself
on someone else's words
dying to believe in what you heard
i was staring straight
into the shining sun
lost in thought and lost in time
while the seeds of life
and the seeds of change were planted
outside the rain fell dark and slow
while i pondered on
this dangerous but irresistible pastime
i took a heavenly ride
through our silence
i knew the moment had arrived
for killing the past
and coming back to life
bracketed
i took a heavenly ride
through our silence
i knew the waiting had begun
and headed straight
into the shining sun
