Every now and then I still have that dream 
where it feels like I'm staring into an abyss when I look up at the sky…
Finally I cast down my eyes & find you in some ancient garden,
sleeping in a bed of hyacinth and roses—-
a thousand thorns piercing your skin, pinning your body to the earth.

Shall I wrap these cold arms around you?
Pull the blindfold across your eyes?
We’ll sleep again, our garden will grow 
and I’ll hold that star to your neck.

Outside your front window-
my locket shining gold.
The softest light reflects from snow
& frames the silhouette in blue.
(of you…)

Will you blow out the candle on the mantle my dear?
God, your touch sent a chill down my spine…
So beautiful the way you were then,
ageless in my mind.

The ocean of stars, so infinite and cold.
I remember what it's like to feel alive.
The night is so dark the light of the moon 
glistens in your eyes.

Blow out the candle so I know that you're here.
Just the thought sends a chill down my spine.
So beautiful the way you are now,
ageless in my mind… 

The glow of the candle reflects in the mirror.
I swear I saw a glimpse of your eyes. 
So beautiful the way you are now 
I miss you all the time…
