I see you walking down the road
I meet at the lights
I stare for a while
The world around us disappears
It's just you and me on my island of hope
A breathe between us could be miles
Let me surround you a sea to your shore
Let me be the calm you seek
and every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away...
and I forgot to tell you
I love you
and night's too long
I'm cold here without you
I grieve in my condition
for i cannot find the words to say
I need you so.....
And, in parting fromo you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
T hat my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
Whilr I weep --while I weep
O God can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God can I hot save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
