Away- Song lyrics

Away

Sadness drapes over me like watery veils of silk,
When all the flowers turn to shadows in your hair,
You’re right here, but I can’t touch you, can’t speak a word,
Your blue-jay soul will flit away.

I grieve for my condition, because I can’t seem to find the answer
To all these yearnings, these empty pages and frozen hands,
Where is my happiness, when you’re my every joy,
And you’ve gone away?

Time’s too long to tell me how to turn back the hands,
Start a new beginning with you,
Carry us to a land that’s ever green and never gray,
You’ll never go away.

There’s a tripping frantic little girl in me,
Wanting to take your hand, whisper in your ear,
Tell you all my crazy dream secrets,
Make it so you’ll always be here,
Never to go away.

Miss me pretty little blue jay,
When all the flowers have turned to shadows in your hair,
The light is fading fast and you won’t stay,
Time to flit away.
