Away from you
Away from youthere is no music,there is no sunlight,the world is gray.Away from youthe clocks are frozen,and time's a travellerwho's lost his way.
The people I meetmight as well be statues,the words we exchangemight as well be Greek.The room that I'm inmay be bright and cheerfulbut to meit's dim and bleak.
I'm half aliveuntil the momentthe door swings openand you walk through.Now my world starts to glowlike a stained-glass windowand what was old and coldis warm and new.And so you seewhy I can never beaway from you.
Away from youthe world is lifelessas though creationhas gone awry.the trees are bare,there are no flowers,the fields are thirsty,the streams are dry.
We live, you and I,for a breath of sunlight,so brief an escapefrom a world of gray.our moments of warmthhave been touch and go, love,but tonight, we'll touchand stay.
The people I meetmight as well be statues,the words we exchangemight as well be Greek.The room that I'm inmay be bright and cheerfulbut to meit's dim and bleak.
I'm half aliveuntil the momentthe door swings openand you walk through.Now my soul is afloaton a wave of musicthat I could feel such joyI never knew.And so you seewhy I can never beaway from you.
