YOU REACHED OUT AND SAID 'TAKE MY HAND'
COME WALK WITH ME
AND EXPLORE THE CARNIVALS IN MY MIND
SEEK AND SEE WHAT YOU SHALL FIND
CLIMB THE MOUNTAINS,
WADE IN THE RIVERS OF MY MIND
COME LET US INTERTWINE
YOU WATCHED ME IN YOUR MINDS EYE
YOU SAID I WAS THE STAR OF YOUR CARNIVAL
DANCING IN REDS AND BLACKS, SMILING AT YOU
I WANTED TO PLEASE YOUR EYES
EXCITE YOUR SOUL
WITH MANY COLOURS
AND SUBTLE HUES OF BRIGHT
AND PASTEL SHADES OF THE RAINBOW
TO FILL YOUR EARS WITH THE
SOOTHING SOUNDS OF LIFE AND MERRIMENT
I JUST WANTED THE SORROW WHICH YOU KNEW
TO BE LIFTED UP AND CARRIED OFF
TO BE NEVER FELT AGAIN
WANTED ANY TEARS
THAT MIGHT FLOW FROM YOUR EYES
TO BE DRIED BY THE SUNLIGHT
AND BE REPLACED WITH TEARS OF OVER FLOWING
JOY AND LAUGHTER
I HAVE LOST YOU IT SEEMS
HOW QUICKLY IT ALL CAME TO BE
THE SUN NO LONGER SHINES BRIGHT
THE STARS AT NIGHT DON'T LOOK SO CLEAR
BUT I WILL LET THE MEMORIES DISAPPEAR
FOR THE RED AND BLACKS HAVE TURNED GRAY
